- Title
La Música como profesión y disciplina de estudios formales en el México actual.
- Authors
Gutiérrez, Sofía Meléndez
- Abstract
In Mexico the idea is widespread that music cannot be a professional field of studies: it is seen as a useless discipline, at most an extra-curricular pastime. This conception of art does not come from the art itself, but from external circumstances, such as the fact that capitalism is our society's economic system, and the unspoken aim that we all become mere producers of articles for consumption. Musical training in the mandatory educational program is mediocre, or non-existent. We will draw a comparison with musical education in England.
