GMUS 601 Teaching and Learning

Hear, Listen, Play! is a book for all music teachers who are unfamiliar with, yet curious about the worlds of ear-playing, informal learning, improvisation, and vernacular musics.

Drawing on a series of interviews with musicians aged between fifteen and fifty, Lucy Green explores the nature of pop musicians' informal learning practices, attitudes and values, the extent to which these altered over the last forty years, and the experiences of the musicians in formal music education.

Discussions in this new study consider how individuals construct their musical identities in relation to their experiences of formal and informal music teaching and learning.

This book focuses on the role of education in relation to music and gender.

This pioneering book reveals how the music classroom can draw upon the world of popular musicians' informal learning practices, so as to recognise and foster a range of musical skills and knowledge that have long been overlooked within music education.
