Abstract
This article discusses the art education philosophy of June King McFee and implications of this philosophy for music education and music teacher education. There is much to be learned from other fields of study, especially the arts, which can be applied to music to expand current beliefs and practices. Basic tenets of this philosophy include a focus on the individual through cultural awareness; music experience; expressiveness and creativity; communication; relationships between student, teacher, and music; and the need for a comprehensive music education. Included is a discussion of the application of McFee's philosophy to music teaching as well as teacher education.
