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 Ashgate 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.
This first introduction to music theory is perfect for children
ages 4-7. Music Theory Made Easy for Kids is filled with colorful
illustrations and fun musical sticker sheets in each book.
This 3rd edition of Learning to Teach Music in the Secondary School
has been thoroughly revised to take account of the latest
initiatives, research and scholarship in the field of music
education, and the most recent changes to the curriculum. By
focusing on overarching principles, it aims to develop reflective
practitioners who will creatively and critically examine their own
and others' ideas about music education, and the ways in which
children learn music. Providing an overview of contemporary issues
in music teaching and learning from a range of perspectives, the
book focuses on teaching music musically, and enables the reader
to: place music education in its historical and social context
consider the nature of musical knowledge and how teachers can
facilitate their students to learn musically critically analyse the
frameworks within which music teachers work develop an
understanding of composing, performing and responding to music, as
well as key issues such as creativity, individual needs and
assessment examine aspects of music beyond the classroom and how
effective links can be made between curriculum music and music
outside of school. Including a range of case studies, tasks and
reflections to help student teachers integrate the theory and
practice of music education effectively, this new edition will
provide invaluable support, guidance and challenges for teachers at
all stages of their careers, as well as being a useful resource for
teacher educators in a wide range of settings.

Seminal lectures on music education since the 1990s. There is no
question that music education is in crisis today. The place of
music in the national curriculum is controversial; there have been
cuts in the provision of individual lessons; and there have been
severe reductions in government funding, with more planned. This
book, containing the first five Bernarr Rainbow Lectures, makes an
important and timely contribution to the debate on music education.
Baroness Warnock brings the perspective of a distinguished
philosopher to bear on issues about the nature of music and its
study; Lord Moser urges us to maintain and expand what has been
achieved since World War II; the late Professor John Paynter,
responsible for the 1960s surge in creative approaches to music
teaching, presents his case in two contributions; John Stephens
discusses structures for music teaching and then, in a second
contribution, brings everything up to date; and Professor Gavin
Henderson traces his own colourful career and supports music for
all ages. Also included is the 2005 Royal Philharmonic Society by
the Master of the Queen's Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies; an
assessment from Bernarr Rainbow himself, written late in his life;
an indictment from Wilfrid Mellers; and two reviews of Bernarr
Rainbow on Music: Memoirs and Selected Writings, showing the
continuing importance of his work fifteen years after his death.
This book is part of the series Classic Texts in Music Education,
edited by Professor Peter Dickinson, and supported by the Bernarr
Rainbow Trust. Peter Dickinson is a British composer, writer and
pianist and authorand editor of books on Lennox Berkeley, Copland,
Cage, Barber and Berners.

A Field Guide to Student Teaching in Music, Second Edition, serves
as a practical guide for the music education student, one that
recognizes the importance of effective coursework while addressing
the unique field-based aspects of the music classroom. Student

rehearsals, intensive parent involvement, uniforms, community
outreach, and much more. This guide explores such topics common to
all music placements as well as those specific to general, choral,
and instrumental music classrooms, building on theoretical
materials often covered in music methods courses and yet not
beholden to any one pedagogy, thus allowing for a dynamic and

Gender Issues in Scandinavian Music Education: From Stereotypes to
Multiple Possibilities introduces much-needed updates to research
and teaching philosophies that envision new ways of considering
gender diversity in music education. This volume of essays by
Scandinavian contributors looks beyond the dominant Anglo-American
lens while confronting a universal need to resist and rethink the
gender stereotypes that limit a young person's musical development.
Addressing issues at all levels of music education-from primary and
secondary schools to conservatories and universities- topics
discussed include: the intersection of social class, sexual
orientation, and teachers' beliefs; gender performance in the music
classroom and its effects on genre and instrument choice;
hierarchical inequalities reinforced by power and prestige
structures; strategies to fulfill curricular aims for equality and
justice that meet the diversity of the classroom; and much more!
Representing a commitment to developing new practices in music
education that subvert gender norms and challenge
heteronormativity, Gender Issues in Scandinavian Music Education
fills a growing need to broaden the scope of how gender and
equality are situated in music education-in Scandinavia and beyond.
Following on from the success of the award-winning A History of
Pictures for Children comes this introduction to the history of
music that takes children on a musical journey around the world.
Readers will meet along the way a diverse cast of composers,
musicians and performers who all make music in different ways in a
variety of different genres, from Bach to Billie Eilish, Mozart to
Miriam Makeba. Why do we make music? Which instruments make up a
classical orchestra? How does music affect our brains and emotions?
These are just some of the fascinating questions addressed in this
book, which looks at music's transnational and boundary-breaking
qualities. All over the world and throughout time, music has been
recorded and passed down through different oral traditions and
forms of notation. It has always been a powerful catalyst for
influencing change and connecting people. And what might the future
of music hold? Exploring the technology we use to listen to and
create music, the authors imagine new possibilities such as
computer-generated compositions and robot musicians. Includes an
online playlist organized by chapter that children can listen to as
they read.
