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 is the fifth volume of Engaging Students. You can find the original collection and read more about the vision behind this project here.
