This book examines the state of collegiate music teaching prior to 2020 and then captures these radical and sudden changes through the eyes of music conservatory leaders from around the world. These leaders, who had a comprehensive view of what was unfolding, described what happened during this once-in-a-century event.
From their insights, we see what worked and what didn’t. The book then examines what this experience means, or could mean, for the future of music in higher education.
