Engaging Students: Essays in Music Pedagogy presents short essays on the subject of student-centered learning, and serves as an open-access, web-based resource for those teaching college-level classes in music.

This volume contains essays dealing with theory (Shaffer and Hughes, Jacobus), practice (Burke, Colletti, Johnson, Roust, Schubert), assessment (Alegant and Sawhill, Gawboy, Rifkin), and technology (de Clercq, Duker, Gosden, Ludwig, Peebles) as they relate to music pedagogy.

We hope that you enjoy reading this volume as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.
