During this time of racial reckoning and professional introspection, set in the context of a global pandemic, regular tasks such as writing an editorial take on new meaning and significance. The summer of 2020 brought to the surface and into the foreground centuries of racial injustice and oppression that must be confronted and acted upon. The events of 2020 remind us once again that the past is present in everyday actions embedded in values and prejudices that develop over generations. How do such events impact how music educators view their past? How they unsettle the stories that have been told time and again to define who they are? From the perspective of music education history, how do researchers help in the work of digging into the past and revealing the untold stories, the empty spaces in our narratives? In her landmark book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (2020), Isabel Wilkerson adopts the image of a nation as a house or structure. Similar to a house, there is a need for dwellers to examine the foundation and to find the weaknesses and fissures, and to do something to fix the problems if the building is going to remain stable and in good condition. The metaphor can be applied to approaches to music education history and used to frame questions central to the profession’s identity and development. What constitutes the house that we name music education? What were the hallmarks of the foundation? What are the parts of the structure that are in urgent need of mending, restoring, perhaps replacing? The first action to take is to acknowledge and understand the foundation and structure as a product of their time.

社论

在全球流行的背景下,在种族歧视和专业反省的这段时间里,诸如编写社论之类的常规任务具有新的意义和意义。2020年夏天使必须面对和采取行动的种族不公正和压迫现象浮出水面,并进入了一个世纪的前景。2020年的事件再次提醒我们,过去存在于世代相传的价值观和偏见中的日常行动中。这些事件如何影响音乐教育者对过去的看法?他们如何使一次又一次地讲述他们的故事的故事感到不安?从音乐教育历史的角度来看,研究人员如何帮助他们挖掘过去并揭示出不为人知的故事以及我们叙事中的空白空间?在她的地标书中,种姓:我们的不满情绪的根源(2020),伊莎贝尔·威尔克森(Isabel Wilkerson)将国家的形象视为房屋或建筑物。与房屋类似,居民需要检查基础并找出弱点和裂缝,并在建筑物要保持稳定和状况良好的情况下采取一些措施来解决问题。隐喻可以应用于音乐教育历史的方法,并且可以用来构架对音乐的身份和发展至关重要的问题。我们称其为音乐教育的房子是什么构成的?基金会的标志是什么?迫切需要修复,恢复或替换的结构的哪些部分?首先要采取的行动是承认和理解作为其时间产物的基础和结构。
