In this article, the meaning of values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness advanced in the Declaration of Independence (1776) are critically examined from musical and educational perspectives. These values are posited not only as American values but as human values. Their theoretical and practical implications for music education are unpacked and their implications for democratic music education are assessed
