This innovative volume explores the potential of alternative seating practices (ASP) to revolutionize orchestral music teaching in US schools and beyond by improving musicians’ social and musical experiences, including peer mentorship. Challenging traditional hierarchical seating structures and drawing on longitudinal research and autoethnographic data, it explores the benefits of alternative seating practices on student learning, well-being, and overall musical performance. Rooted in critical discussion of the importance of social justice in music education, it describes new strategies for culturally responsive pedagogies and examines how educators and conductors can create a cohesive and collaborative orchestra guided by the principles of ethnic studies, while valuing and celebrating diversity among the members. It will be of interest to academics, scholars, and educators in music education and pedagogy, social justice education, and race and ethnic studies.
Tammy S. Yi is Associate Professor and Director of Music Education at Chapman University, where she is also the Founding Director of Mariachi Panteras, and orchestra conductor of the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles.
