The new edition of The Child as Musician: A Handbook of Musical
Development celebrates the richness and diversity of the many
different ways in which children can engage in and interact with
music. It presents theory - both cutting edge and classic - in an
accessible way for readers by surveying research concerned with the
development and acquisition of musical skills. The focus is on
musical development from conception to late adolescences, although
the bulk of the coverage concentrates on the period when children
are able to begin formal music instruction (from around age 3)
until the final year of formal schooling (around age 18). There are
many conceptions of how musical development might take place, just
as there are for other disciplines and areas of human potential.
Consequently, the publication highlights the diversity in current
literature dealing with how we think about and conceptualise
children's musical development. Each of the authors has searched
for a better and more effective way to explain in their own words
and according to their own perspective, the remarkable ways in
which children engage with music. In the field of educational
psychology there are a number of publications that survey the
issues surrounding child and adolescent development. Some of the
more innovative present research and theories, and their
educational implications, in a style that stresses the fundamental
interplay among the biological, environmental, social and cultural
influences at each stage of a child's development. Until now, no
similar overview has existed for child and adolescent development
in the field of music. The Child as Musician addresses this
imbalance, and is essential for those in the fields of child
development, music education, and music cognition.
