Sommario/riassunto

This book analyses education policy trends that affects performing culture, academic excellence and global competitiveness in schools. It



focuses on students’ cultural identities and engagement, inclusive schooling, eliminating discrimination and discriminatory practices in the classroom, and relevant values education. One of the major effects of cultural and economic forces of globalisation is that schools and school leaders, like other educational organisations, having modelled their goals and strategies on the entrepreneurial business model. They are compelled to embrace the corporate ethos of efficiency, accountability, performance, and profit-driven managerialism. This corporate ethos reflects a dominant neo-liberal ideology, which exerts a powerful influence on major discourses of democracy, equality, social justice, and education, both locally and globally. By examining the education policy shifts in the use of major discourses concerning performing culture and education, this book offers a comprehensive synthesis of the intersecting and diverse discourses of globalisation, cultural diversity, performing culture, and education. It provides innovative ideas concerning the future directions for authentic models of globalisation, performance culture and students’ motivation.

Sommario/riassunto

"I recommend this book wholeheartedly to new music lovers" Sir Charles Groves CBE Thanks to Nigel Kennedy and Pavarotti, millions of



people have recently discovered that classical music is a highly enjoyable experience, perhaps contrary to their expectations. But the world of classical music can be highly intimidating and confusing. Ian Christians, for many years a passionate believer in broadening the interest in classical music, has developed a unique approach, designed to make it as easy as possible for both newcomers to classical music and those who have started down the path to explore with confidence. Discovering Classical Music concentrates on the greatest composers. The author takes you step-by-step into their most approachable music and, in some cases, boldly into some of the greatest works traditionally considered too difficult for newcomers. Rarely does a book offer such potential for continued enjoyment.This volume concentrates on the life, personality and music of Edward William Elgar.
