Ch. 05 - Transforming Music Education Re-Visited: The Significance Of Internationalization And Mentoring, Alexandra Kertz-Welzel
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This chapter returns to Jorgensen’s 2003 publication Transforming Music Education. Kertz-Welzel revisits significant aspects of transformation in music education which Jorgensen suggests, and which are still important today. The author also emphasizes additional dimensions that are critical in the 21st century, such as internationalization and mentoring. Through the formation of the International Society for the Philosophy of Music Education, philosophy of music education was significantly transformed. Internationalization in a respective field is always connected to the engagement of individual researchers who shape it and attract others to become part of it. Therefore, mentoring young scholars is an …

Ch. 01 - Of Dialectics, Juxtapositions, And Flexible Thinking: A Tribute To Estelle Jorgensen, Frank Heuser
Ch. 01 - Of Dialectics, Juxtapositions, And Flexible Thinking: A Tribute To Estelle Jorgensen, Frank Heuser
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
Numerous scholars have provided philosophical perspectives to justify the inclusion of music education in public schools. The philosophical work of Jorgensen offers a framework that allows educators to move beyond singular agendas and apply eclectic approaches to meet the needs of unique teaching environments. This chapter offers commentary on her concept of dialectics and how Jorgensen’s philosophy nurtured innovative curricular approaches to music teacher preparation in a university teacher certification program.

Ch. 02 - Becoming And Being, Being And Becoming: A Necessary Balance In The Journey Of Musician Educators, Betty Anne Younker
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
In the field of music education philosophy, several contributors have significantly impacted how we think about and do music education. One such person is Estelle Jorgensen. Integral to her writing was the use of metaphor, which served as a means to present complicated concepts and ask complex questions. Her intent was less to provide answers but to instill an inquiry of pondering and imaging; it was more about the journey of seeking possibilities, and less about converging on ‘truths’ and arriving. The focus then was more on becoming and less on being’. This continuous process of pondering and imaging could …

Ch. 04 - The Pursuit Of Happiness: Music Access In 21st Century America, Carla E. Aguilar
Ch. 04 - The Pursuit Of Happiness: Music Access In 21st Century America, Carla E. Aguilar
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This chapter describes policy mechanisms that can be revised to support “music making by all.” Aguilar starts with the normative claim that engagement in music education in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions should encompass opportunities for a range of music-making experiences, especially those experiences that may be ignored or marginalized because of the traditional structure of post-secondary institutions. Broadening choices for musical engagement may provide greater relevance, as well as increased access and participation in learning music by all and for all.
Ch. 06 - Pilgrim And Quest Revisited, Iris Yob
Ch. 06 - Pilgrim And Quest Revisited, Iris Yob
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
In Pictures of Music Education, Estelle Jorgensen extends her analysis of the pilgrimage metaphor and its associated model of quest in music education. The purpose of the present chapter is not to refute or critique Jorgensen’s work with this metaphor but to build on it by exploring even further the possible meanings captured by the metaphor for music educators. While the notion of pilgrimage carries religious overtones from its long association with faith practices, in a secularized world our present understandings continue to be shaped by remnants of meaning from past mythologies. To that end, various notions associated with …

Ch. 03 - Is It Athene, Minerva, Or Estelle Disguised As Mentor? Or, Mentoring The Next Generation: Jorgensen As Mentor Qua Mentor, Pamela Stover
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
The work of a mentor takes many forms. There is the formal mentoring of a student or a colleague done by advisors and professors. From Homer’s Odyssey, however, comes another image in the character of “Mentor,” the trusted friend of Odysseus who was charged with the care of Odysseus’s young son, Telemachus. Although Mentor was male, there are two instances in literature wherein females—Pallus Athene and Minerva— took the form of Mentor and were successful where “Mentor” had failed. The feminine image of “Mentor in disguise” will be explored in this chapter to illustrate Jorgensen’s approach to mentoring a …
Ch. 08 - Embracing And Navigating Uncertainty: Estelle Jorgensen’S Contribution To International Wisdom, June Boyce-Tillman
Ch. 08 - Embracing And Navigating Uncertainty: Estelle Jorgensen’S Contribution To International Wisdom, June Boyce-Tillman
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This chapter will address the multiplicity of models and metaphors set out in Jorgensen’s Pictures of Music Education (2011). Boyce-Tillman will examine the concept of wisdom and its necessity for choosing a particular strategy in a particular context. Illustrations will be pulled from the author’s pedagogical experiences in and outside formal institutions like the university, school, and church. Wisdom is a necessary component of Jorgensen’s search for justice, and it builds upon an awareness of the value-systems underpinning how a Subject makes choices, particularly in the search for a common humanity. The aim of the chapter is to illustrate how …
Ch. 07 - An Aesthetico-Political Approach To Music Education: Transformation Beyond Gender, Cecilia Ferm-Almqvist
Ch. 07 - An Aesthetico-Political Approach To Music Education: Transformation Beyond Gender, Cecilia Ferm-Almqvist
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This chapter takes Jorgensen’s thoughts regarding how music education can contribute to a better world, developed in Transforming Music Education, as a starting-point. Based on her statements, I elaborate upon possibilities for equal music education. The picture of transformed music education, as I interpret Jorgensen’s work, is based on a dialectic approach, including mutual curiosity and respect. Through my research where I have interviewed female electric guitar playing upper secondary music students, shows though, that transformation of music education has to continue. For example, the analysis of their expressed experiences shows that they are diminished, quieted, encouraged to care, and …
Ch. 09 - The Music Educator As Cultural Worker, David Lines
Ch. 09 - The Music Educator As Cultural Worker, David Lines
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
Estelle Jorgensen’s Pictures of Music Education provides an exploration of music education through figural and literal thinking stimulated by a selection of metaphors and models. This chapter takes inspiration from Jorgensen’s approach to music education and explores how the changing idea of culture resonates with thinking about music education. It is suggested that music education and culture can be thought of together through a more politically aware stance or image of thought that music teachers can adopt: the music educator as cultural worker. By adopting this stance, the music educator enacts music and culture together, is critically informed by the …
Ch. 14 - On Jorgensen’S Dialectical Approach To Music Education: Resonances With Yin-Yang, Leonard Tan
Ch. 14 - On Jorgensen’S Dialectical Approach To Music Education: Resonances With Yin-Yang, Leonard Tan
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
In this chapter, I examine Jorgensen’s dialectical approach to music education from Chinese philosophical lenses. More specifically, I re-visit her 2001 essay entitled “A Dialectical View of Theory and Practice” and read it afresh through the lenses of yin-yang theory. I conclude by highlighting three philosophical resonances between Jorgensen’s ideas and yin-yang theory: balance, change, and space.

Ch. 12 - In Search Of Liberty: A Poststructuralist Extension Of Jorgensen's Dialectics, Lauren Kapalka Richerme
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
Against a contemporary backdrop of soundbite news stories and intransigent political divisions, music educators still have much to learn from Jorgensen’s lifelong dedication to the deep interrogation of multiple perspectives. Drawing heavily on Jorgensen’s use of dialectics in In Search of Music Education, I examine the liberatory nature of her philosophical writing. By explaining each paired term in marked depth and clarity, including its potential problems and possibilities, Jorgensen frees readers from narrow assumptions and unidirectional logic. Moreover, by refraining from championing one idea within a dialectic over the other, Jorgensen liberates readers by encouraging them to position themselves. While …
Ch. 13 - In Search Of Choral Music Education: Where Is It Now?, Patrick K. Freer
Ch. 13 - In Search Of Choral Music Education: Where Is It Now?, Patrick K. Freer
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This chapter chronicles the influence of Jorgensen’s writing in a graduate choral music education course. Jorgensen’s book chapter, On Spheres of Musical Validity (2005), becomes the focal point for an examination of the legitimacy of five major influences on music education: family, religion, politics, the music profession, and commerce. This investigation leads to consideration of these influences in graduate students’ personal lives, classrooms, rehearsal halls, and the broader profession of choral music education.
Ch. 11 - Becoming A Story: Searching For Music Educations, Patrick Schmidt
Ch. 11 - Becoming A Story: Searching For Music Educations, Patrick Schmidt
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This short philosophical chapter borrows and diverges from Estelle Jorgensen’s In Search of Music Education. It aims to address the pertinent and defiant questions asked over two decades ago, while re-position them in light of current challenges. Following Jorgensen’s style—carefully and tactically—this chapter draws a line of flight between philosophical and policy-oriented ways of thinking, underlining some ways in which the two meet and how pertinent these encounters can be to music educators today. The chapter makes use and highlights the potential of craftly constructed epistemological familiarity and how it can engender practice. Specifically, it reminds and exemplifies to the …
Ch. 10 - Rethinking The Transgressive: A Call For “Pessimistic Activism” In Music Education, Panagiotis A. Kanellopoulos
Ch. 10 - Rethinking The Transgressive: A Call For “Pessimistic Activism” In Music Education, Panagiotis A. Kanellopoulos
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This essay asks the question: How are we to think of what Estelle Jorgensen has called “the transgressive” in music education today? My entry point to the question is the suggestion that the struggle against modes of music education that eulogize the status quo, against oppression and authoritarianism, against practices that exclude and intimidate students, has to take the form of “a struggle on two fronts” (Badiou). A struggle against imposed canonicities and obsolete approaches to music teaching but also a struggle against the emerging neoliberal appropriations of education, learning, and creativity. The chapter sketches a struggle-on-two-fronts perspective with regard …
Ch. 18 - In Defense Of The Work Of Art: I And Thou In Music Education, Øivind Varkøy
Ch. 18 - In Defense Of The Work Of Art: I And Thou In Music Education, Øivind Varkøy
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
A change has been going on in both the philosophy of music education and the general philosophy of music during the last decades: a transition from a focus on music as an object or work to a focus on music as an activity and process. This certainly contrasts with the historical hegemony of the (Western) idea of music as objects. As a philosophical development this is unproblematic. However, a fundamental prerequisite for moving encounters between the human subject and music, in music education as well as in general, is the very idea of music as a work of art. This …
Ch. 15 - In Search Of Music Education And Jorgensen’S Neoclassicism, Deanne Bogdan
Ch. 15 - In Search Of Music Education And Jorgensen’S Neoclassicism, Deanne Bogdan
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
In her landmark book, In Search of Music Education (University of Illinois Press, 1997), Estelle R. Jorgensen lays the groundwork for the philosophy of music education, of which she is today’s foremost proponent. Decidedly not a “how-to” manual, her book poses difficult questions undergirding a systematic reflection on, first, the nature of education (Chapter 1); the nature of music (Chapter 2), and the dialectics and dialogics of music education (Chapter 3), reconciling the tensions and ambiguities when music and education are combined as an autonomous yet porous discipline. Jorgensen cites John Dewey, Paulo Freire, Maxine Greene, Susanne Langer, Israel …
Ch. 16 - Re-Discovering/Facilitating Intimacy In Borderscapes Of Higher Music Education, Eleni Lapidaki
Ch. 16 - Re-Discovering/Facilitating Intimacy In Borderscapes Of Higher Music Education, Eleni Lapidaki
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
The chapter explores intimacy as a critical site of power and resistance. More specifically, intimacy is considered as an arena in which social and political identities are negotiated, while inclusions and exclusions are continually established or disputed. I will argue for the adoption of a politics of intimacy that aims towards a more nuanced and less reductionist higher music education that can help us articulate the complexity of spaces of proximity as greatly as we live it. Such a reflection offers us opportunity to adopt a variable filter that sheds light on certain characteristics of borders, freedom, and the ways …
Ch. 17 - Traditions And The End Of Music Education, William Perrine
Ch. 17 - Traditions And The End Of Music Education, William Perrine
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This chapter considers the question of how music educators determine the musical ends towards which their teaching is directed. Musical traditions, both “great” and “little,” as Estelle Jorgensen describes them, are inseparable from the philosophical traditions through which music educators determine consider their pedagogical ends. This chapter presents a three-part framework to describe how music educators might approach understanding their work as a socially embodied enactment of contrasting traditions. The term tradition is first defined as a means of categorizing philosophical schools of thought from which various musical practices can be understood. The liberal philosophical tradition that grew out of …

Ch. 21 - When I Grow Up, Or Just Another Love Song, Cathy Benedict
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
One’s journey is never made alone. Relationships with the other begins with the desire to live mutually and responsively. Jorgensen’s lives work has been to both broker and live these relationships with others; modeling scholarly and intellectual companionship that will reach beyond time now as it has been experienced. In this essay I frame Jorgensen’s influence through the lens of Martin Buber, the caring relationship and the creation of spaces that embrace plurality.
Ch. 20 - Cultivating Hope In An Uncertain World: Engaging With A Pedagogy Of Hope In Music Education, Marie Mccarthy
Ch. 20 - Cultivating Hope In An Uncertain World: Engaging With A Pedagogy Of Hope In Music Education, Marie Mccarthy
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
In this chapter, I explore ways in which a disposition of hope can sustain a music teacher’s professional career and personal well-being at a time of uncertainty and changing values and professional practices. I approach hope as a spiritual human disposition capable of motivating action, sustaining energy, and transforming positively those engaged in education. Themes addressed include: the relevance of hope in the context of schooling today, contemporary approaches to the phenomenon of hope, synergies that give rise to hope in education contexts, and ways of engaging with a pedagogy of hope with implications for music teaching and learning.

Ch. 19 - Rethinking The Good, The True, And The Beautiful For Music Education: New Visions From An Old Garden, Hanne Rinholm
The Road Goes Ever On: Estelle Jorgensen's Legacy in Music Education
This chapter reconsiders the notion of the good, the true, and the beautiful for music education in our time, inspired by the writings of Byung-Chul Han, Michel Foucault, Iris Murdoch, Axel Honneth, and Martin Heidegger. This classical notion is imagined as a garden in which to dwell philosophically and to be used as an inspiration for music teachers’ pursuit of happiness, authenticity, and liberty. The chapter departs from, plays with, and extends ideas from Jorgensen’s Transforming Music Education (2003).
