For readers who care about the ways in which neoliberalism undermines peoples' creative justice in and through higher music education ethically and practically, this volume remains a critical acquisition.

A crucially important volume, the book provides critical insights into both the learning cultures within higher music institutions and the transition from education to work in a neoliberal world. As such, this brilliant volume makes a vital contribution to how we think about the interplay between higher music education, inequalities, and neoliberalism.

An important volume for both higher music education and musicians. Properly considered and implemented, its contents could shape the future of both.

This book provides an important and timely examination of higher music education in the 21st century. Through focusing on the role that institutions play to both empower students and perpetuate inequalities, the contributing authors explore the possibilities and perils of higher music education in a culture dominated by neoliberalism.
