Bennett Reimer is widely regarded as the patriarch of the music education aestheticians; his take on music education advocacy echoes his argument that music education with apraxial emphasis on ensemble performance is approaching the point of total irrelevancy in society. In advocacy efforts, Reimer (2005) claims, we “advocate for what we do when the question begging to be asked is whether what we do is valid . . . [t]o put it directly, there is a positive relation between the efforts we have to expend on advocacy and the level of irrelevancy of what we offer” (141).
