One of the fascinating things about the articles in the BJME is that they come from many different countries, with many different music education systems in place in them. Each country has its own way of doing things, and its own way of thinking about what music education means in its own circumstance. One of the issues we face today is that with increasing globalisation unique ways of musicking can be under threat from non-indigenous commercial interests. For music education this can have implications. One of the questions that it raises is about the purposes of music education. Is music education about passing on a historic culture whose existence is threatened? Is it about learning to play western classical instruments? Is it about learning to play pop and rock music? These are not simple questions, and they do not have simple answers.

2017年音乐教育

关于这篇文章的有趣的事情之一BJME是他们来自许多不同的国家，拥有许多不同的音乐教育系统。每个国家都有自己的做事方式，以及对音乐教育在本国情况下的意义的思考方式。我们今天面临的问题之一是，随着全球化程度的提高，独特的音乐创作方式可能会受到非本土商业利益的威胁。对于音乐教育，这可能会产生影响。它提出的问题之一是关于目的的音乐教育。音乐教育是关于传承存在威胁的历史文化吗？是学习演奏西方古典乐器吗？是关于学习演奏流行音乐和摇滚音乐吗？这些不是简单的问题，也没有简单的答案。
