Reviews
'Professor Swanwick brought to this book the distillation of years of work and experience in the field. He not only grounded his work firmly in that of Langer, Koestler, L.A. Reid, Reimer and others, but having established a theory of music he confidently articulated a rationale for music education. - - Here at last was the curriculum model that music educators had lacked for so long containing both a clearly stated philosophical base and defined curriculum objectives.' - Margaret Metcalfe; in Living Powers, Falmer Press, 1987
