Reviews

From the reviews: "Anyone who is involved in arts and education, research or is a practicing artist will probably have considered what it means to be a ‘reflective practitioner’. This book, aimed at people working in the arts as teachers, practitioners or researchers, invites deeper thought about reflective practice and its role within the current context of accountability in education. … Anyone who is involved with arts education would find something enlightening and informative in this book." (Frederick A. Seddon, British Journal of Music Education, Vol. 2 (13), 2008)
