remarkable scat improvisations, but also for her very personal
interpretations of the Broadway classics and her live performances

captured by evocative photos from the time and by Remi Courgeon's
beautiful illustrations. The narrative of the book is recorded on
the accompanying CD, as well as 13 of the singer's most emblematic
recordings.

primary education, Teaching Music Creatively offers all teachers a
comprehensive understanding of how to develop, deliver and enjoy a
creative music curriculum. It is inspired by the belief that all
those concerned with primary education have a deep interest in
creativity and supports teachers in developing the confidence to
teach and celebrate creative music teaching throughout school. With
groundbreaking contributions from international experts in the
field, it offers well-tested strategies for developing children's
musical creativity, knowledge, skills and understanding. This
edition includes a brand new chapter on teaching interculturally,
showing how children can reach their full creative potential and
not be constrained by cultural stereotyping. Key topics covered
include: Creative teaching, and what it means to teach creatively
Composition, listening and notation Spontaneous music-making Group
music and performance The use of multimedia Integration of music
into the wider curriculum Musical play Assessment and planning.
Teaching Music Creatively is packed with practical, innovative
ideas for teaching music in a lively and imaginative way, together
with the theory and background necessary to develop a comprehensive
understanding of creative teaching methods. It is an invaluable
resource for all those training to become primary school teachers,
as well as practicing teachers looking for support and inspiration
and undergraduate students of music and education.
The use of technology in music and education can no longer be
described as a recent development. Music learners actively engage
with technology in their music making, regardless of the
opportunities afforded to them in formal settings. This volume
draws together critical perspectives in three overarching areas in
which technology is used to support music education: music
production; game technology; musical creation, experience and
understanding. The fourteen chapters reflect the emerging field of
the study of technology in music from a pedagogical perspective.
Contributions come not only from music pedagogues but also from
musicologists, composers and performers working at the forefront of
the domain. The authors examine pedagogical practice in the
recording studio, how game technology relates to musical creation
and expression, the use of technology to create and assess musical
compositions, and how technology can foster learning within the
field of Special Educational Needs (SEN). In addition, the use of
technology in musical performance is examined, with a particular
focus on the current trends and the ways it might be reshaped for
use within performance practice. This book will be of value to
educators, practitioners, musicologists, composers and performers,
as well as to scholars with an interest in the critical study of
how technology is used effectively in music and music education.
Popular music is a growing presence in education, formal and
otherwise, from primary school to postgraduate study. Programmes,
courses and modules in popular music studies, popular music
performance, songwriting and areas of music technology are becoming
commonplace across higher education. Additionally, specialist
pop/rock/jazz graded exam syllabi, such as RockSchool and Trinity
Rock and Pop, have emerged in recent years, meaning that it is now
possible for school leavers in some countries to meet university
entry requirements having studied only popular music. In the
context of teacher education, classroom teachers and
music-specialists alike are becoming increasingly empowered to
introduce popular music into their classrooms. At present, research
in Popular Music Education lies at the fringes of the fields of
music education, ethnomusicology, community music, cultural studies
and popular music studies. The Routledge Research Companion to
Popular Music Education is the first book-length publication that
brings together a diverse range of scholarship in this emerging
field. Perspectives include the historical, sociological,
pedagogical, musicological, axiological, reflexive, critical,
philosophical and ideological.

Redefining Music Studies in an Age of Change: Creativity,
Diversity, Integration takes prevailing discourse about change in
music studies to new vistas, as higher education institutions are
at a critical moment of determining just what professional
musicians and teachers need to survive and thrive in public life.
The authors examine how music studies might be redefined through
the lenses of creativity, diversity, and integration. which are the
three pillars of the recent report of The College Music Society
taskforce calling for reform. Focus is on new conceptions for
existent areas-such as studio lessons and ensembles, academic
history and theory, theory and culture courses, and music education
coursework-but also on an exploration of music and human learning,
and an understanding of how organizational change happens.
Examination of progressive programs will celebrate strides in the
direction of the task force vision, as well as extend a critical
eye distinguishing between premature proclamations of "mission
accomplished" and genuine transformation. The overarching theme is
that a foundational, systemic overhaul has the capacity to entirely
revitalize the European classical tradition. Practical steps
applicable to wide-ranging institutions are considered-from small
liberal arts colleges, to conservatory programs, large research
universities, and regional state universities.

This book offers compelling new perspectives on the revolutionary
potential of improvisation pedagogy. Bringing together
contributions from leading musicians, scholars, and teachers from
around the world, the volume articulates how improvisation can
breathe new life into old curricula; how it can help teachers and
students to communicate more effectively; how it can break down
damaging ideological boundaries between classrooms and communities;
and how it can help students become more thoughtful, engaged, and
activist global citizens. In the last two decades, a growing number
of music educators, music education researchers, musicologists,
cultural theorists, creative practitioners, and ethnomusicologists
have suggested that a greater emphasis on improvisation in music
performance, history, and theory classes offers enormous potential
for pedagogical enrichment. This book will help educators realize
that potential by exploring improvisation along a variety of
trajectories. Essays offer readers both theoretical explorations of
improvisation and music education from a wide array of vantage
points, and practical explanations of how the theory can be
implemented in real situations in communities and classrooms. It
will therefore be of interest to teachers and students in numerous
modes of pedagogy and fields of study, as well as students and
faculty in the academic fields of music education, jazz studies,
ethnomusicology, musicology, cultural studies, and popular culture
studies.
