Keeping beat with the increasingly diverse population of the United States and the explosion of internet content, the greatly expanded third edition of Multicultural Perspectives in Music Education covers more cultures, contains more standards-based, hands-on lesson plans, and offers more resources than ever. The newly amplified chapter on African American music and new chapters on jazz/rock and world-beat are all brimming with inspiring material, bringing these rich traditions to life. As studentsexperience the rhythms, sounds, and stories of the global community, they will learn how these musics have influenced both American culture and world cultures. Students may develop a deeper understanding of their own heritage, and see how they fit into the global community. This is especially important for young people who may be alienated due to ethnic or cultural differences as well as students who may feel lost amid the growing population in today's urban areas in our technological age.
