Review
Bernarr Rainbow's impressive scholarly achievement encompasses the significant events in the history of European music education from 800BC. (.) Cox's revision and extension of Rainbow's seminal text is timely and should be compulsory reading for all music educators. BRITISH JOURNAL OF MUSIC EDUCATION Indispensable... The profession of music education has at last been provided with a detailed and documented history... the volume should be on the shelves of every library and musician. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MUSIC EDUCATIONIt is no mean feat to have extended this seminal book in so constructive and newly illuminating a manner as is the case here. (Gordon) Cox and (Peter) Dickinson (who nimbly edited this new edition) deserve to go to the top of the class. MUSIC TEACHERThis handsome volume is...a welcome second edition of the standard historical survey of music in general education...Rainbow's magnum opus...(Cox's) `new' viewpoints are invaluable in the ways in which they complement what has gone before.
