Notes

Abstract: The goal of integrating people from diverse cultural backgrounds into a cohesive society has
been a long-standing goal of Western educational systems. Various ideologies to integrate
immigrants into society were advanced in order to achieve this goal--from assimilation and
cultural pluralism to multiculturalism and globalization. In turn, each of these ideologies has
influenced the direction of music education. In this paper, I provide perspectives on social
cohesion and education, illustrating how ideologies were used to promote socially cohesive
societies. I explore how the construction of narrative—and music as a form of narrative—is
important in the process of adapting to a new culture. From there, I examine community as a
metaphor and narrative for music education in the twenty first century. Finally, I apply the
concept of community to propose a view of music education as a space of hospitality and
possibility that can contribute to building a socially cohesive society.
