This chapter examines the role of slaves in education and the formation of masculinity according to John Chrysostom. More specifically, it shows how the involvement of slaves in educational practices in the Roman Empire both reproduced and destabilized patriarchal and kyriarchal power. In order to elucidate the relationship between kyriarchization—the process of teaching children how to be future slaveholders—and masculinity, the chapter analyzes Chrysostom's views on the importance of nurses, pedagogues, and household slaves in the education of Roman children. It also considers how slaves themselves were educated and concludes with a discussion of Chrysostom's proscription of a scriptural pedagogy that will ensure that the child behaves as a free person, not a slave.Less

This chapter explores how César Franck encountered Bach's organ music as a composer, organist, and teacher. Particular attention is paid to Franck's appropriation of Bach's organ works as compositional models, his organ recitals in and around Paris, his organ studio at the Paris Conservatory, and his Braille edition of Bach's organ music for the National Institute of Blind Youths in Paris. Both as a pedagogue and composer, Franck played a critical role in the revival of Bach's music in nineteenth-century France.Less

Is business, for music, a regrettable necessity or a spur to creativity? Are there limits to the influence that economic factors can or should exert on the musical imagination and its product? The eleven chapters here wrestle with these questions from the perspective of different areas of research. The range is wide: from 1700 to the present day; from the opera house to the community centre; from composers, performers, and pedagogues to managers, publishers and lawyers; and, from piano miniatures to folk music and pop CDs. If there is a consensus, it is that music serves its own interests best when it harnesses business rather than denying it.Less

This concluding chapter assesses the achievement of the Graeco-Roman grammarians, which can only be evaluated in its context. The context is in part that of their own profession, and the role it had, and they had, in ancient society. The grammarians whose writings survive were more than pedagogues. Even a simple manual could be written with an awareness of alternative views on many issues, which might be cited or criticized. Other grammars were works of scholarship, going well beyond what teachers could have needed in practice. Another part of the context is formed by the languages on which and in which ancient scholars worked. A Roman grammarian described Latin, though he might on occasion refer to ways in which it was different from Greek. A Greek grammarian, in turn, wrote only on Greek.Less

Various topics discussed in previous chaptersare revisited in light of subsequent information. Motivation for becoming a teacher is examined more fully in terms of self, identity, and role in developing a vision for the teacher-self and the relation between self, context, and instructional practice. Next, the process of developing or evolving from pre-serivce teacher to experienced pedagogue and leader is examined. Finally, the dispositions and certification process required to become a practicing music teacher are covered.Less

This chapter examines the influence of Westernization, industrialization, and modernization along with the increasingly visible presence of socialism on Urdu literature. A political background of 1900–1930s is provided, including several important events on the world arena and the developments on the eve of, and in the aftermath of, the Khilafat movement, each of which had a profound effect on Indian politics. This is followed by a description of the ways in which creative writers the world over gave expression to the sense of disquiet over the repression unleashed by the colonial government and how their sentiments were echoed, with equal vigour by Urdu writers; it also establishes how the nationalist trends in the country as a whole strengthened the growth of socialist thought, and how socialistic ideas had begun to influence a cross-section of Urdu writers and how the establishment of the Communist Party of India (CPI) channelized the anti-imperialist sentiments into a pronounced nationalist wave. Then the circumstances that lead to the publication of Angarey in 1932 are reviewed, unfolding the linkages between the literature of this period, nationalism, and socialism. While enumerating the fears and insecurities of India’s Muslims, it also concludes that the Muslim community was not without its own shortcomings.Less
