Classic Daoism, led by Laozi (b. ca. 570 BC) and Zhaungzi (369–286 BC), postulates a dao -centric school of philosophy. The author discusses four key principles of dao (the “way” 道 ): wuwei (無為 take non-egoistic action); (2) guan (觀 observation from the perspective of the being observed); (3) qiwu (齊物 equality); and (4) rou (柔 soft and flexible). To apply these principles in music education, learners would learn in their most natural ways; music, musicians, and learners would be understood from their own vantage points; all perspectives would be treated equally; and educators would be so flexible that they need not worry about what is forthcoming.
