62 By using electronic, altered, or “prepared” instruments, and the like, musicians may subvert norms of mellow and round tones, and, in their place, composers may call for sounds that are jarring, tight, thin, and rasping. Through this substitution, parody of contemporary society, and opposition to norms, the artist provokes listeners to notice what might not otherwise have been seen or heard. Familiarity also determines what we hear as beautiful and ugly. 63 Thinking about beauty as a social construction also suggests that it is complex, ambiguous, and liable to change over time.

Concerted public policy and action in a particular direction requires decisions and commitments regarding the competing aims, purposes, and methods of musical instruction. The principle of balance is especially helpful in a pluralistic world-view because it recognizes the claims of values that may sometimes be contradictory or in tension.
