list, Strong and Feierabend sought to cover as many areas of music education as possible. The inten- tion was that anyone interested in learning the basics of Feierabend’s philosophy, resources, and programs could easily pick up the book and immediately begin to learn. While the in-person certification training offered by the FAME organization is the optimal way to interact with and learn Feierabend’s philosophies and methods, the book serves as an excellent introduction and help for teachers at any level of experience with his work.


“Feierabend Fundamentals” is written for new and veteran teachers, teachers certified by the Feierabend Association for Music Education, college professors, and undergradu- ate and graduate college students. This book is a major contribution to the music education profession and is a significant step toward bringing


this child-centered and powerful ap- proach to an even larger community. As one looks at the above titles, it is obvious that this is a resource from which even those unfamiliar with Feierabend’s work might start learn- ing some of the basic tenets as well as a place where an experienced teach- er familiar with Feierabend’s work could learn even more about helping their students to be “tuneful, beatful, and artful.”
