Reviews
Bernarr Rainbow's impressive scholarly achievement encompasses the significant events in the history of European music education from 800BC. [.] Cox's revision and extension of Rainbow's seminal text is timely and should be compulsory reading for all music educators. * BRITISH JOURNAL OF MUSIC EDUCATION *
Indispensable... The profession of music education has at last been provided with a detailed and documented history... the volume should be on the shelves of every library and musician. * INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MUSIC EDUCATION *
It is no mean feat to have extended this seminal book in so constructive and newly illuminating a manner as is the case here. [Gordon] Cox and [Peter] Dickinson (who nimbly edited this new edition) deserve to go to the top of the class. * MUSIC TEACHER *
This handsome volume is...a welcome second edition of the standard historical survey of music in general education...Rainbow's magnum opus...[Cox's] `new' viewpoints are invaluable in the ways in which they complement what has gone before. * MUSIC & LETTERS *
