Music Education Before, During and After the Global COVID-19 Pandemic: An Opportunity to Reflect and Take Stock? A Reflection from An English Perspective

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper takes the opportunity of the COVID-19 lockdowns that have happened around the world to pause and take stock of what music education was, is, and might be. Written from a perspective of the situation in England, the paper asks what some might consider to be quite difficult questions for music educators to reflect on, including that of the reasons why we are, and have been, teaching music in the ways in which we do. The paper also investigates the thorny issue of taste in music, and interrogates the notion of music education being employed as a means to enculturation. Difficult questions are also asked concerning the content of music education curricula, and whether these overtly or tacitly create EDI (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion) problems in some instances. We know that there are many good and positive aspects of music education from past practices, this paper invites music educators to reflect on what future good practices might entail.
