“…According to Nettl (1992), the purpose of a multicultural music education is not to teach the music of other cultures in order for students to fully know them. Rather, we should "teach something about them" so that the students "know they exist and are worthy of attention and respect" (p. 6).…”

This article explores the relationship between singing and cultural understanding. Singing emerges in infancy and develops through processes of enculturation and socialization. When we sing songs from diverse cultures, we are granted with opportunities to learn about the cultures of others, and gain a better understanding of our own. Thus, singing songs from different cultures may play important roles in the construction of our identities and in how we perceive and understand others, and ultimately ourselves. Cultural understanding, however, is complex in nature and multi-layered. Even if research findings concerning the relationship between singing and cultural understanding are mixed, we argue that there is value in enhancing students' cultural understanding through singing multicultural songs. Singing multicultural songs can also promote the well being of students. It is beyond the education of music. It is about a comprehensive education of humans as social beings and music as a human endeavor.

It is only when we move out of our own framework and into 'the other' that we begin to cross boundaries and make the cross-cultural connections that are absent in the music of our own culture.…”

“…A comparison of the processes utilised in popular music and Torres Strait Islander music styles reveal much that is compatible on a variety of levels, and which subsequently may indicate directions for the organic development of effective teaching and learning strategies for study of Australian Indigenous popular music. Furthermore, as Nettl (1992) suggests, &dquo;the way in which a society teaches its music is a matter of enormous importance for understanding that music&dquo; (p 3) and examination of the teaching and learning that occurs within the context of Indigenous Australian music and popular music also proves revealing. While the following discussion is specific to Torres Strait Island music in relationship to popular music, a number of parallels may be drawn for other indigenous and popular music forms.…”
