Abstract	The purpose of this paper is to apply Noddings' ethic of care to a qualitative inquiry of select instrumental music educators. In the first section I describe and define an ethic of care, considering specifically who is involved in a caring relationship, how an ethic of care can be taught, and strategies for educational implementation and reform based on care. This section concludes with a presentation of prior literature exploring the implications of an ethic of care for music education. The second section includes findings from a study in which I observed the presence of care in instrumental music classrooms. Themes emerging from the data analysis included: (a) care; (b) teaching students to care; (c) fostering a classroom environment conducive for care; (d) caring for the individual; (e) continuity; and (f) benefits. Findings suggest that including care in the classroom can have powerful benefits both personally and musically. (As Provided).
