I began emphasizing Aesthetic Education more than 30 years ago in Education. a now defunct journal, with an article titled "Music Educa­ tion: Aesthetic Education." At the time of the publication of that article and during the interven­ ing years, I never anticipated that the concept of Aesthetic Education would come to be used as the major tenet in the justification for music education. That has, however, hap­ pened. As a result, the profession has been sated with vague esoteric statements of justification that no one understands including, I suspect, most of the people who make those statements. Responding to the topic, "1984 and Well Beyond" requires that we accomplish two related but discrete tasks: 1) establish a justification for the music program that will be understandable and convincing to laypersons including school board members, administrators, parents and the public at large; and, 2) SPRING, 1985 11 a unique system of nonverbal discover their level of musical sion of that heritage.
