Over the past two decades, structuralism and post-structuralism have become ways respectively of analysing and interpreting music. Through consideration of writings influenced by these critical methods, structuralism, as an analytical strategy for post-tonal music, and post-structuralism, as a way of investigating meaning(s) in popular music, are discussed for their implications for music education.
