Summary

The change needed in urban music education not only relates to the idea that music should be at the center of the curriculum; rather, it is that culturally relevant music should be a creative force at the center of reform in urban education. Teaching Music in the Urban Classroom A Guide to Leadership, Teacher Education, and Reform is the start of a national-level conversation aimed at making that goal a reality.
