NEW BOOK

LOOKING FORWARD: Challenges to Canadian Music Education 
Betty Hanley & Brian A. Roberts, Editors

What challenges face Canadian music education in the coming decades? The
happy convergence of a new millennium, the 40th anniversary of the Canadian
Music Educators Association/l'Association Canadienne des Educateurs de
Musique (in 1999). and ISME 2000 in Edmonton, prompted the CMEA/ACEM to
initiate a national dialogue about the future of Canadian music education.
Looking Forward is the result.

Addressing a broad range of topics and educational levels, the book provides
a provocative and thoughtful look at opportunities and challenges identified
by fourteen articulate and well-informed authors who represent diverse
backgrounds and viewpoints.
