Abstract

Focusing on K-12 schooling, this capstone paper discusses critical pedagogical theories in conjunction with arts-integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum. Studies have shown that arts-integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum can increase teacher awareness, help students make connections, and foster a healthier school culture. Arts-integrated and interdisciplinary studies have the potential to help restructure institutionalized power dynamics to incorporate more student voices and create a more responsive educational process. This paper hones in on the role of music education within the context of restructuring power dynamics in educational systems.
