Thomas Regelski - The Heaviest Cat?
The Cats of Music Education Series
Thomas A. Regelski - you rock! Thank you for writing so beautifully about so many important foundational issues for so many years (just in case he reads our blog).
Regelski is the go-to-guy for legit academic writing. Who else in music education would choose “Tractate on Critical Theory and Praxis” or “Prolegomenon to a praxial philosophy of music and music education” as journal article titles?
In addition to writing gazillions of books and journal articles that have challenged the profession over several decades, he is the co-founder (with J.T. Gates) of the MayDay Group and the founding editor of our favourite music education journal “Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education”.
So, grab your dictionary, a Greek translator, and a survey of pre and post Socratic philosophers, and get started on these game changing links.
Journal Article: The Aristotelian bases of praxis for music and music education as praxis
Journal Article: On" methodolatry" and music teaching as critical and reflective praxis
Book: Music Education for Changing Times: Guiding Visions for Practice
Then read everything else - it should only take a lifetime…
