In a delightfully self-conscious philosophical mash-up, Randall Everett Allsup provides alternatives for the traditional master-apprentice teaching model that has characterized music education. By providing examples across the arts and humanities, Allsup promotes a vision of education that is open, changing, and adventurous at heart. He contends that the imperative of growth at the core of all teaching and learning relationships is made richer, though less certain, when it is fused with a student's self-initiated quest. In this way, the formal study of music turns from an education in teacher-directed craft and moves into much larger and more complicated fields of exploration. Through vivid stories and evocative prose, Randall Everett Allsup advocates for an open, quest-driven teaching model that has repercussions for music education and the humanities more generally.

Reviews for Remixing the Classroom: Toward an Open Philosophy of Music Education
Stories, metaphors, analogies and quotes from a variety of sources make the text interesting and bring a welcome lightness to this philosophical work in a way not often found in literature of this disciplinary area.
Journal of Popular Music Education
While the impact of [Allsup's] book on our practice cannot yet be predicted, his re-envisioning of music educators as public intellectuals who can shape discourse through the class, ethnic, gendered, and generational realities of conventional music education bursts with possibilities and encourages readers to consider their larger responsibilities.
Notes
Allsup's work contributes significantly to music education. It is a twenty-first-century philosophy that puts forward open possibilities that unsettle closures and limitations long present in music education.
Philosophy of Music Education
Remixing the Classroom is a stimulating book and will, I am sure, expand the minds of music educators. It is time to pay heed to Allsup's appeal and embrace the `discomfort of the new'. For as the maxim goes: if the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.
