Abstract

This article proposes a pluralistic and comparative view of informalities in music education. After critically examining issues surrounding the definition of informality, it describes and critiques informality as a metaphorical model of music education, and discusses how formality and informality intersect in this model. The discussion then sketches a contrasting manifestation of informality in the context of connectivity, another metaphorical model of music education, and notes the implications of these differing informalities for music education theory and practice.
