Music education helps people access far more than just musical notation and instrumental or vocal techniques: it also opens up realms of cultural participation, strengthens social skills, and nourishes individuals’ expressive capacity. In this Special, we shed light on the societal significance of music and helping people access music, take a look into a school classroom, and show how up-to-date music teaching looks in today’s world. We also provide an overview of the diverse options for university studies across the broad field of music education and the equally diverse professional prospects—in contexts ranging from schools and cultural institutions to innovative educational projects and beyond.
