Abstract

This article considers questions related to educational practices taking in consideration three main concepts: Cultural capital, metodolatry, and salvation. These are taken both in especific terms as well as an metaphorical exercise for the exploration of pedagogical, policy and practice issues and concerns in music education in the United States. The article also makes reference and traces connections between subjects that may create a Pan-American mode of thinking; exorting a call for further, more prolific and greater scope in research and dialogue between North and South regions of the Americas.
