Helping You to Diversify Your Music Curriculum and Teaching Practices
World Music Pedagogy encompasses the questions, curiosities, and concerns of contemporary educators who are teaching music with both musical and cultural aims in mind.

We provide "Learning Pathways” as support to teachers in elementary and secondary schools, and these curricular-instructional items bring an understanding to children and youth of music for its sonic and social meanings.
