N2 - In this interlude, issues associated with hegemony and axiology and how they are relevant to discussions concerning teaching and learning of composing are outlined and discussed. Axiology concerns itself with values, whereas hegemony is concerned with cultural dominance, usually of one set of values over others. Composing music can be a value-laden activity from the outset, and the various styles, types, and genres of music that exist around the globe can sometimes be tacitly or overtly placed into a hierarchy, which affects the ways in which composing can be both conceptualized and operationalized as an educational endeavour. Teaching and learning activities involving composing can never be value-free, and this interlude describes and discusses the major issues associated with these matters.
