Comparative Music Education

Music education is one of the most recent subjects to be included in the respective school curricula of Spain's compulsory education system -infant, primary and secondary- and it is where praxis finds its raison d'etre. The problem lies in understanding what is involved in this procedure -praxis- as well as knowing the difficulties arising from its application. To this end, it is necessary to answer complex questions related to defining music and music education, as well as understanding the importance of relating music education to comparative education as a means by which to conduct valuable research in this subject.
