This review article critically engages with the sociological perspectives on capital, class, status and social reproduction shared in the second section of the Routledge Handbook to Sociology of Music Education. Exploring the application of sociological theories and concepts in various music education contexts, three core themes identified across chapters are examined: the politics of belonging; illusio and governance; and professionalism and capital. Through this, we argue that music education carries a social and societal responsibility, demanding nuanced considerations of the ethical and political complexity inherent in policy, practice, and research. Considerations that the Handbook exemplifies in challenging and inspiring ways.
