Estelle R. Jorgensen's latest work is an exploratory look into the wayswe practice and represent music education through the metaphors and models thatappear in everyday life. These metaphors and models serve as entry points into adeeper understanding of music education that moves beyond literal ways of thinkingand doing and allows for a more creative embodiment of musical thought. Seeing thereader as a partner in the creation of meaning, Jorgensen intends for this book tobe experienced by, rather than dictated to, the reader. Jorgensen's hope is that theintersections of art and philosophy, and metaphor and model can provide a richer andmore imaginative view of music education. Media >, [PU: Indiana University Press]<
