Stepniak Releases Second Book on Music in Higher Education

Dean and Professor of Music Michael Stepniak, Ed.D., released his second book (this time as editor), “A More Promising Musical Future: Leading Transformational Change in Music Higher Education” (Routledge Press, July 19, 2022), this summer. This concise volume brings together four seasoned thought leaders, with each providing a complementary glimpse into how music faculty and administrators can help lead changes that truly matter. Making the case for transformations to better align music training in higher education with our culturally diverse society and the actual marketplace facing graduates, the perspectives collected here provide essential change management leadership strategies for higher education music schools and departments in the 21st century.
