[eBook] [PDF] For The Oxford Handbook of Care in Music Education 1st Edition By Karin Hendricks
The notion of care is at times misunderstood in the context of music education–equated simply with kindness or associated with lowered expectations–and is often dismissed without consideration of its full value to music learning. When viewed through a student “deficit” perspective, concepts of care might evoke unnecessary pity or a sense of rescue, thereby positioning teachers and learners in a superior/inferior relationship that may be unhealthy and unhelpful to either person. Furthermore, many well-meaning approaches to care emphasize a unidirectional relationship from teacher to student, discounting the ways in which a teacher also continues to learn and develop.
