This book is dedicated to the memory of David Hawkes (1923-2009). We remember him as a pre-eminent translator and interpreter of Chinese literature into English, his most famous work being the translation of the classic 18th century Chinese novel, the Hongloumeng or The Story of the Stone. The first part of the book consists of studies on him and his works, the second part on the art of translation into English from Chinese literature; all the articles are penned by scholars in the field from Britain, America, Australia and Hong Kong.
Tao Tao Liu, Emeritus Fellow at Wadham College, University of Oxford, lectures on Chinese literature at the Oriental Faculty in Oxford. Her research and translation interests are in Chinese literature of all periods.
Chan Sin-wai, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Translation of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, teaches translation and translation technology. His research interests are in translation studies, computer translation and bilingual lexicography. Laurence K. P. Wong, Research Professor in the Department of Translation and Director of the Research Institute for the Humanities at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, has published more than 30 books and numerous journal articles in Chinese and English. His translations (between Chinese and European languages) include a 3-volume Chinese terza rima version of Dante’s La Divina Commedia, which was published in 2003.

From Navigating Music and Sound Education
“We rarely have the opportunity and time to engage with the practicalities of music teaching through the lens of evidence-based practice. This book provides us with a wonderful exception that is accessible to beginning and established teachers. It contains a wide range of stimulating and thought-provoking material that draws on real-world experiences and events, which are contextualised, informed and structured by theory. This is a powerful combination that we can visit again and again for insight and inspiration. Congratulations to all involved, particularly the editors for shaping such a valuable contribution!”
—Professor Graham F. Welch, University of London; President, International Society of Music Education
“Navigating music and sound education draws together a range of issues increasingly acknowledged to be at the basis of reflective and effective music learning and teaching: social settings, cultural dimensions, gender, indigeneity, varying cognitive approaches, inter-disciplinary connections, technology, types of learning, and creativity. It opens up areas of pedagogy that go beyond classroom methodology to acknowledge student individuality and encourage music learning and teaching grounded in the reality of students’ musical and social lives. It will be invaluable for those training to become educators and for teachers already in the field.”
—Associate Professor Peter Dunbar-Hall, University of Sydney
“This book brings an important contribution to music teacher education as it challenges the readers to rethink their paradigms of music education. It highlights the importance of preparing a reflective teacher, autonomous, creative and conscious of the multifaceted and multicultural locus in which they will work. The book also draws on the importance for music teachers to consider the context in which they work, and establish a dialog between local musical traditions, informal music practices and global trends of music teaching and learning. Most importantly, all chapters are in one way or another derived from research carried out on specific areas, thus stressing the importance of the research informed practice in music education.”
—Professor Liane Hentschke, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; International Society of Music Education Immediate Past President
Many readers will appreciate Steve Dillon and Kathy Hirche’s description of the future of education in their work with dynamic technological contexts.
Navigating Music and Sound Education is a wonderful guide and resource for pre-service music teachers, for teachers in the field, and for teacher educators.
It offers a range of fresh perspectives on the state of music education as it is and as it might be. Kari K Veblen
Navigating Music and Sound Education is an ambitious project which features current research from 20 individuals whose professional identities run the gamut from musician to songwriter to student to educator to music therapist to ethnomusicologist. The book’s scope is perhaps the most exciting aspect of Navigating Music and Sound Education.
