For teachers and graduate students, Briscoe (musicology, Butler U.) collects 14 articles drawn from College Music Society national meetings and its Institutes for Music History Pedagogy, along with invited papers from successful teachers in the US and Canada, on ways to revitalize the teaching of music history to undergraduate music majors. They address such topics as teaching principles and philosophies, teaching music history from an ethnomusicological perspective, connecting the practice of music to music history, engaging learners, the role of the administrator, connecting theory, teaching music history through art, and teaching Canadian music, John Cage, and French Baroque music.
