Popular musicians acquire some or all of their skills and knowledge
informally, outside school or university, and with little help from
trained instrumental teachers. How do they go about this process?
Despite the fact that popular music has recently entered formal
music education, we have as yet a limited understanding of the
learning practices adopted by its musicians. Nor do we know why so
many popular musicians in the past turned away from music
education, or how young popular musicians today are responding to
it. Drawing on a series of interviews with musicians aged between
fifteen and fifty, Lucy Green explores the nature of pop musicians'
informal learning practices, attitudes and values, the extent to
which these altered over the last forty years, and the experiences
of the musicians in formal music education. Through a comparison of
the characteristics of informal pop music learning with those of
more formal music education, the book offers insights into how we
might re-invigorate the musical involvement of the population.
Could the creation of a teaching culture that recognizes and
rewards aural imitation, improvisation and experimentation, as well
as commitment and passion, encourage more people to make music?
Since the hardback publication of this book in 2001, the author has
explored many of its themes through practical work in school
classrooms. Her follow-up book, Music, Informal Learning and the
School: A New Classroom Pedagogy (2008) appears in the same Ashgate
series.
