| Abstract (English): | Eurocentric music education is not a “one size fits all” approach to teaching and learning, particularly since many students do not relate nor connect with such formal and prescribed pedagogy. Hence, classroom music teachers have a responsibility to investigate and explore non-Western methods of musical practices, particularly since many classrooms in Canada are culturally diverse. This article does not debase traditional methods of music education but instead seeks to foster new and novel pedagogical techniques that are more inclusive and diverse, ultimately cultivating the growth of music programs while simultaneously inspiring more students to value and appreciate music as a lifelong endeavour. The principal goal of this article, therefore, is to provide eight rationales that collectively address the following question: Would music education acutely benefit from dispensing with traditional Eurocentric pedagogies rooted in the reading of standard musical notation?

| Abstract (French): | L’éducation musicale eurocentrique n’est pas une approche d’enseignement qui convient à tous, surtout quand on constate que ses méthodes formelles et prescriptives ne fonctionnent pas pour bon nombre d’élèves. Par conséquent, ceux qui enseignent la musique à l’école ont la responsabilité d’explorer les pratiques musicales non occidentales, d’autant plus que de nombreuses classes au Canada comptent plusieurs élèves issus de différentes cultures. Cet article ne cherche pas à dénigrer les méthodes traditionnelles d’éducation musicale, mais vise plutôt à promouvoir des approches pédagogiques novatrices plus inclusives et diversifiées, afin de faire évoluer les programmes de musique, ce qui permettra ultimement à un plus grand nombre d’élèves de valoriser et d’apprécier la musique tout au long de leur vie. Le principal but de cet article est de présenter huit arguments pour répondre à la question suivante : L’éducation musicale gagnerait-elle en efficacité si elle se distanciait de l’enseignement traditionnel eurocentrique axé sur la lecture de la notation musicale conventionnelle?
