Music Education in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance

What were the methods and educational philosophies of music teachers in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance? What did students study? What were the motivations of teacher and student? Contributors to this volume address these topics and others -- including gender, social status, and the role of the Church -- to better understand the identities of music teachers and in western Europe student from 650 to 1650. This volume provides an expansive view of the beginnings of music pedagogy, and shows how the act of learning was embedded in the broader context of the early Western art music tradition.
