Complicating, Considering, and Connecting Music Education proposes a poststructuralist-inspired philosophy of music teaching and learning. Complicating pervasive conceptions of self, other, and place, the book begins by emphasizing embodied, emotional, and social aspects of humanity. It then examines intersections between local and global music making. Next, the ethical implications of considering multiple viewpoints and imagining who music makers might become are considered. Ultimately, the book proposes that music education is good for facilitating differing connections with one's self and multiple environments. Throughout the text, the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari are integrated with narrative philosophy and personal narratives.
