In Irma Collins’ Dictionary of Music Education, readers find more than just a lexicon. It is a journey through musical time and the story of the evolution of music education. Dictionary of Music Education includes entries on notable individuals, critical terms, important events, and key organizations, offering readers a broad survey of the field of music education. In addition to coverage of the topic in the United States, Collins includes information on other English-speaking regions—the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, among others—emphasizing the impact music education researchers and organizations have had on one another across the globe.

Biographical entries encompass performing musicians and music educators who were among the founding or first expositors or implementers of key pedagogical tools and methods. Terms include standard concepts in the field of music education itself and that are used universally among them. Event and organization entries comprise those critical to the advancement of music education regionally, nationally and internationally. Dictionary of Music Education also includes a timeline, cross-references, and an extensive bibliography.

This work is aimed at anyone involved in the field of music education, from students in music education programs and music faculty to administrators and private instructors.
