Critical Pedagogy  for Music Education

 

developed by

Frank Abrahams

CPME is a view of music education that centers on students being musicians. The teaching activities break down the barriers that separate the music students hear in the classroom from the music they prefer in their world outside. When these barriers disappear, students and their teacher are changed. Music learning occurs when they “know that they know.” The CPME term for this inner knowing is conscientization.
