Philosodialogue

An important issue seems to stem from the politics, to economics, to the learning possibilities from styles to a larger vision of what is educational viable and valuable.

It seems to me that all and any of these issues is still very much connected to how to we envision education as a practice of democracy or a democratic practice. What does it mean to see music education as a vehicle for democratic ideals?
I think we have consider democracy and its implications as ideals that are separate from the day-to-day realities of our lives...how do we see ourselves and how do we ask our students to see that Democracy is not a distant concept but is in fact the fabric of education, of learning, of interactions inside our classrooms?!
