Inside Out An Autobiography
Edwin E. Gordon
One of the foremost pioneers in music education research
and practices, Edwin E. Gordon tells the tale of his early life, his careers as a working

Learning. He highlights the people in his life who helped him grow both professionally

develop terminology to describe that knowledge, to perform extensive research on
his Music Learning Theory, and to rewrite the guidelines for early childhood music
learning.

experiences that informed Gordon’s understanding of music education pedagogy.
