David G. Hebert (

Nichibunken in Kyoto, Japan, and the Central Conservatory of Music, in Beijing, China.[2]

Education and career

Hebert has worked for universities on five continents:

China Conservatory, and in 2015 was a visiting professor in Brazil with the music PhD program at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.[3] Across recent years Hebert has given keynote speeches for music conferences worldwide: Poland, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, China, Tanzania, and Uzbekistan.[4] Hebert also serves on editorial boards of several scholarly journals, led the Historical Ethnomusicology group of the Society for Ethnomusicology (of which he is a Life member) in 2009–2011, and was editor of the 25th anniversary proceedings of the Nordic Association for Japanese and Korean Studies.[5] He has also been active in development of innovative postgraduate programs: In northern Europe, he collaborated in development of the Master of Global Music program,[6] in China he has contributed to development of the Open Global Music Academy,[7] and from 2021 he is in a project funded by Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation to develop PhD programs in Uganda.[8][9] Hebert teaches intensive courses in the fields of arts policy and international higher education for an international PhD summer school in Norway[10] and arts policy in Beijing for law students at China University of Political Science and Law.[11] He also teaches a PhD course in Non-Western Educational Philosophy.[12][13] He holds the PhD and MA degrees from University of Washington, and a BA degree from Pacific University.[14]

Research interests

Hebert's research is published in several scholarly books[15] and 35 different professional journals.[16]

Music competition in Japan

In 2012, Hebert published Wind Bands and Cultural Identity in Japanese Schools,

music competitions are a global phenomenon.[23]

Music globalization, transculturation and hybridity

According to Roberta Pike, Hebert asserts that "research is needed to explore the role of culture in music education."

Indian music outside of Asia,[32] and some cross-cultural music exchange projects in New Zealand[33] and Ghana.[34] Hebert has written of inherent tensions between originality and institutionalization, and contends that musical hybrid projects should be "recognized as the potential wellsprings of new musical traditions."[35] In 2008 at Boston University, he taught a course on the topic of "Music Transculturation and Hybridity".[36] Hebert's research on this topic builds on the scholarship of Bruno Nettl, Margaret Kartomi, Mark Slobin, Timothy Taylor, and Tina Ramnarine. He twice served as keynote speaker for conferences on Music and Globalization in Poland, and the resulting book Music Glocalization[37] has been described as "highly original"[38] and "the first comprehensive account of how the notion of ‘glocalization’ may be useful in rethinking nationality in music and the use of local musical traditions that serve as a means for global strategies."[39] In the book, Hebert collaborated with Polish musicologist Mikolaj Rykowski to introduce theoretical models and the term ‘glocklization’, which combines the glocal concept with a Glock pistol, to indicate unbalanced forms of glocalization perceived as destructive to cultural heritage.[40]

Pluralism and music institutions

Hebert's work has also addressed the challenges of representing cultural diversity and embracing pluralism in music education, claiming for music a unique role in intercultural communication.[41] He has advocated for popular music pedagogy and world music pedagogy as innovative approaches for reaching a wider population of students.[42] Teacher educators have noted that Hebert "guides the reader toward a sociological understanding" of diversity,[43] and offers "suggestions for 'empowering music teachers to respond appropriately to the complexity of ethnic differences'."[44] Extending in directions pioneered by his PhD mentor Patricia Shehan Campbell, Hebert has also written of "the challenges of multicultural teaching in music" and "the central role that ethnic identity plays in musical meaning and engagement."[45] His research in this area has often been in collaboration with Nordic scholars, including Eva Saether[46] and Marja Heimonen.[47] Along with William Coppola and Patricia Shehan Campbell, he co-authored Teaching World Music in Higher Education as vol.7 of the Routledge World Music Pedagogy series.[48]

Nationalism in music education

Hebert co-edited with

sociology of music, to any "scholars engaged in researching comparative and political educational issues."[53] Elsewhere, Hebert has argued that "intercultural music transmission" enables national boundaries to be positively transcended via music participation.[54]

Historical ethnomusicology

Hebert's interests in global music

Rowman and Littlefield press,[59] The Lexington Series in Historical Ethnomusicology: Deep Soundings.[60]

Music technology, virtuality, and online music education

Hebert has also been active in researching the application of new technologies in

virtuality[65] as well as digital humanities and "big data" approaches with Danish computer scientist and computational musicologist Kristoffer Jensen.[66]

East Asian studies

Hebert has researched music in Japan, where he lived for about 5 years[citation needed], and he often lectures for leading universities and conservatories in China. He has published several articles and book chapters on western music in Japan (and Korea), and developed International Perspectives on Translation, Education, and Innovation in Japanese and Korean Societies (Springer), the 25th anniversary proceedings of the Nordic Association for Japanese and Korean Studies.[5] The journal Korean Studies notes that this book's "chapters echo the broader theme that language and translation are a font of innovation in East Asian society. This is a provocative idea, and the book does identify some tantalizing evidence."[67] Hebert has also drawn attention to East Asian arts through the International Sociological Association.[68]

Philosophical orientation

Hebert claims that

techno-utopianism,[61] militarism and nationalism.[72] Music scholars have noted that Hebert "believes music education will become more relevant and effective when it attends more completely to 'creative agency via technology and musical hybridity'," and that "Music learned in school should have some connection to the music the student engages with outside of school and that musicianship should be understood as an ‘embodied practice situated in sociocultural contexts’."[73] An advocate for increased contemporary music, music technology, and popular music in schools, Hebert nevertheless warns that these should not be seen as panacea for poor teaching or inadequate funding and facilities, and that historical traditions – including the heritage of "classical" art music – still legitimately require ample space in school education.[74] He also developed an Ensemble Ethos Model to explain how conductors and ensemble directors can nurture a culture of musical achievement.[75] Overall, Hebert's work especially promotes the value of internationalism in teacher education,[76] and emphasizes the importance of an international-comparative perspective[77] for developing globally responsible[78] and sustainable[79] educational policies and practices. As Yongjin Wang explains, Hebert claims that "the integrated application of non-Western philosophies of education can enhance the understanding of the nature and value of education."[80]

Criticism. While largely accepted, some of Hebert's conclusions have faced opposition from other scholars. His research in Japan controversially suggests that some important aspects of music history are inaccurately "remembered", and he has argued that similar issues may be found in common music history textbooks in the US and elsewhere.

Thomas Adam Regelski has suggested that "culture" – a concept emphasized in much of Hebert's writings – is too imprecise to be useful to music teachers.[84]

Musical activities

Primarily employed as a professor, Hebert continues to perform as a professional musician in various genres,

Kenji Williams.[91] In New Zealand, he performed as a trumpeter with Auckland Symphony Orchestra and Manukau Symphony Orchestra, and in Russia he recorded with the experimental free improvisation group Moscow Conservatory Pan-Asian Ensemble.[92]
