Dionysus Redux: Rethinking the Teaching of Music.
Monk, Dennis C.
Arts Education Policy Review, v97 n6 p2-12 Jul-Aug 1996
Maintains that western civilization's emphasis on dualistic thinking combined with a tendency to favor the cerebral/rational over the physical/emotional has resulted in music education stressing theory over the experiential pleasure of music. Synthesizes a number of influences into a more balanced set of universal principles for music education. (MJP)
