"Remixing the Classroom" In Practice engages directly with Randall Allsup's groundbreaking Remixing the Classroom: Toward an Open Philosophy of Music Education by sharing what democratic, creative, and student-centered approaches to music education look like when applied in the field. Through narrative essays covering a spectrum of contexts, including piano studios, choir ensembles, pre-service teacher education, and digital music spaces, "Remixing the Classroom" in Practice explores how issues of music teacher quality are intertwined with ethical and moral considerations that are central to educational practice in any setting. The authors share a wide array of examples and stories of educators striving toward pluralistic understandings of open forms of music education practice and beginning to teach outside the frames offered by traditional institutions and approaches: moving away from the teacher-centered craft, breaking the master/apprenticeship cycle, and drawing from student-initiated approaches. These stories touch on matters ranging from identity construction to patriotism and decolonization, analyzing and reframing implications for elementary and secondary schools, higher education, and other educational contexts within a diverse and ever-changing society. An imaginative collection aimed at furthering Allsup's philosophy, "Remixing the Classroom" in Practice narrates the experiences and stories of music educators who continue to strive for openness within contemporary music education.
