This chapter introduces the purpose, warrant, and contents of the book Sociological Thinking about Music Education: International Intersections, namely that sociological thinking can help us understand the meanings of music learning and teaching in the context of the communities and societies where they occur. The chapter sets the stage for the collection with autobiographical narratives of the editors’ diverse pathways into sociological thinking. Following a brief survey of the origins of current sociological thinking about music education, which emphasizes perspectives from beyond the Global North, the chapter engages readers with summaries of the enticing chapters that are featured in the text. The chapter concludes by summarizing the ways this collection expands the interdisciplinary field of music education and invites readers to use their own sociological imaginations to interrogate and reimagine the “givens” in music education.Less

This chapter provides an overview of the emergence of sound studies. According to Trevor Pinch and Karin Bijsterveld, editors of “Sound Studies: New Technologies and Music,” “Sound Studies is an emerging interdisciplinary area that studies the material production and consumption of music, noise, silence and how these have changed throughout history and within different societies, but does so from a much wider perspective than standard disciplines such as ethnomusicology, history of music and the sociology of music.” This book presents a different approach to sound studies. It deliberates whether the conceptual construct of the audit helps people think about the degree to which sound, and the very distinction between hearing and listening, belong to a materialization of discourse with which academic intellectuals are intimate—discipline.Less
