Abstract:	The article discusses the impact of globalization on music education in the U.S. Pedagogy should be focused on developing student musicianship, creativity, and musical expression and should be modeled after the "creative workplace" with small ensembles performing student compositions and arrangements being rehearsed, directed, recorded, edited and produced by students. Implications of the creative economy for school music programs are listed. The objectification and commodification of music, the impact of globalization on society and the evolution of the U.S. economy into one based on creativity instead of heavy industry or clean technology, the overriding implications for the music education profession to address are examined.
