[Campbell, Patricia Sheehan, 2008, Systems and standards of music education, Musician & Teacher: An Orientation to Music Education, pp.60-85]


     In this chapter, Campbell takes a look at a few different things. One of them is comparing the similarities and differences of logical and localized systems of standards. Campbell also takes a look at the use of curriculum planning of music education around the world. The countries she looks at include: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, France, Hungary, Japan, South Africa, The United Kingdom and North America (United States and Canada).
     The only connections I have to curriculum planning is that watching my Mom plan lessons in her class. I have seen her refer to the National Standards of Music Education. I have seen education in my overseas travels as well.
     I don't see any necessary agree or disagreeing point on the article. I could see myself in the future using this article as a reference tool if I go back to graduate school or something else.
