This paper examines the practice of five music educators in Canada and Australia who, despite the pervasiveness of ingrained Western-based pedagogy in these countries, are forging ahead with culturally diverse music programmes. Their work is presented as five ‘snapshots of practice’ which provide inspiration and conceptual ideas for other teachers aiming to diversify their practice in music education. While willingness and enthusiasm are paramount, it is these exemplars of innovative and resourceful practice which are crucial in assisting teachers to recognize that alternative forms of musicianship are both legitimate and essential to a well-rounded education in sonic exploration.

课堂上的音乐多样性：声音探索中的独创性和完整性

本文考察了加拿大和澳大利亚的五位音乐教育者的实践，尽管这些国家根深蒂固的西方教学法普遍存在，但他们仍在推进多元文化的音乐课程。他们的作品以五个“实践快照”的形式呈现，为其他旨在实现音乐教育实践多样化的教师提供灵感和概念性想法。虽然意愿和热情是最重要的，但正是这些创新和足智多谋的实践范例对于帮助教师认识到替代形式的音乐才能对于全面的声音探索教育既合法又必不可少。
