Featuring chapters by the world's foremost scholars in music education and cognition, this handbook is a convenient collection of current research on music teaching and learning. In addition to surveying the literature, each chapter considers the significance of the research and provides suggestions for future study.

Notably, several chapters now incorporate insights from other fields to shed light on multi-cultural music education, gender is
