Many interesting concepts are addressed in this article. Branching off what Woodford was discussing in regards to music’s role and uses, and what Liz proposed as a moral question~ I feel that so much is expressed in music, and is ultimately its' purpose (in most cases) that it would be naive not to address the fact that music is there to provoke, invoke and evoke. Now, when we do go into this territory, we enter a world that is no longer factual and can often lead to flares in emotion and personal situations. We all know that right now, we live in a world that is in upheaval. Our society is torn by politics, and moral values, and many things of the. There will be students in your classroom who are strongly opinionated one way, and you will have other students who strongly and adamantly disagree. How can a teacher address the issue of religion, politics, and other very sensitive issues without imposing their own personal bias or without having a very volatile environment within their classroom? How can we as music educators in turn teach tolerance? I think that through music, this much needed issue could be addressed with new eyes.
