Abstract
There can be no doubt that we live in a “connected” world, that isolation is neither good nor sustainable, and that music education continues to counter that trend at the peril of its viability. We need to break through the assumptions of self-containment and self-sufficiency to other disciplines1 that can illuminate what music educators are called upon to accomplish. A thorough treatment of this issue is a good idea.
