Edwin E. Gordon
Learning Sequences in Music: Skill,
Content, and Patterns
A Music Learning Theory—2006 Edition
Learning Sequences in Music: Skill, Content, and Patterns is a
milestone in music education. This book is perhaps the most
provocative exploration ever written of how we learn music,
from infancy to adulthood, and what we should do to teach
music more effectively.
Early controversial ideas championed by Gordon have
now been widely accepted in the field: the importance
of standardized tests in music, the crucial role of early
childhood music education, and the fundamental need to
teach audiation as a precursor to music reading.
Professor Gordon continues to present a feast of
ideas in this new (eighth) edition, combining the latest
experimental and observational research in music learning
with his own experience teaching students of all ages.
Issues covered include the state of music today, audiation, individual differences,
aptitude, readiness, measurement and evaluation, and a new chapter on improvisation.
This book is a seminal achievement certain to be read and re-read by generations
of music educators to come. G-2345 Hardcover . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$38.50
