What it's about

Music and the Higher Education by Edward Dickinson is a thoughtful examination of the place of music within the liberal arts curriculum. Dickinson argues that music should be treated not just as a performing art but as a serious academic discipline worthy of scholarly study. He advocates for the inclusion of music history, theory, and aesthetics in higher education, emphasizing music’s cultural, intellectual, and moral value. The book addresses the gap between practical music training and academic inquiry, calling for a balanced approach that fosters both artistic skill and critical thinking. Dickinson’s work helped shape music education in American universities.
