National association for music education conference 2018

Articulated as a multiple auto-ethnography from the plural and at times divergent perspectives of two music education faculty members (Patrick Schmidt & Cathy Benedict) and three doctoral student researchers (Kelly Bylica, Kristine Musgrove, Gabriela Ocadiz), this session brought together five interpretations, observations and questions in order to work to develop a critical and complex vision of musical and cultural learning for students, while exploring the challenges, limitations and possibilities of collaborative, intercultural experiences.
