About The Book: Music and the Higher Education by Edward Dickinson is a thoughtful examination of the place of music within the liberal arts curriculum.

He advocates for the inclusion of music history, theory, and aesthetics in higher education, emphasizing music’s cultural, intellectual, and moral value.
