As I read the Jones article, like many of you, I favoured the ideas regarding the role music education can play in developing communities. One nagging concern I had, however, was his underlying motivation. It seems to me that in his view, the purpose is not really this wonderful community building, but that is a path en route to a kind of economic development which is laced with exploitation, i.e. capitalism. Did anyone else get that sense at all? Do you think that this is problematic? Or is this connection between music education and economics to be further developed? And if the relationship is to be developed, what kind of structure is best?
