"The Oxford Handbook of Music Composition Pedagogy provides a compendium of perspectives on teaching and learning in the field of music composition so that music educators can indulge their curiosities and become more knowledgeable about young composers and their work. The forward-looking practices presented offer teachers tools and strategies to ensure that every child can experience composition as part of their music education. The forty-three chapters of the volume address nine major themes: philosophical foundations, identity and inclusion, compositional processes, approaches to composition teaching and learning, nurturing young composers, composing in classroom and ensemble settings, international perspectives on composition in music education, and how the future of composition in music education might be shaped. Readers engaging with this work will find strategies for embracing diversity as it is found in the individual nature of each student-composer and in the broader community of composers, understanding the value of individual and collaborative work as a function of artistic action, including a wide range of experiential contexts so that students can embrace traditional and emerging musics, and ways to help students sustain and extend their cultural heritage through composing. This volume makes clear the potential that composition holds for advancing student artistry in music education and offers guidance for those working to achieve that goal"--
