For nearly fifty years, Edwin E. Gordon has been searching for the answers to this question using his research-based Music Learning Theory. In The Development and Practical Application of Music Learning Theory, 31 authors, all experts in their fields, take up the challenge raised by Gordon--to continually improve classroom music instruction in truly practical ways. Some of the questions addressed include: • How can Music Learning Theory and Orff Schulwerk be combined in the general music classroom for maximum learning? • Why are healthy singing techniques so important when introducing Gordon's solfege system? • How can Music Learning Theory be applied to beginning senior citizen musicians? • In what ways can a better understanding of rhythm and sight-singing methods improve even college-level aural skills and theory instruction? • What does world music offer proponents of Music Learning Theory? The Development and Practical Application of Music Learning Theory is a must for anyone interested in further exploring how children learn music and what the implications are for day-to-day classroom instruction. This is a revision of the book Readings in Music Learning Theory. - Publisher

Designed as a core text, the second edition of A Sound Approach to Teaching Instrumentalists applies contemporary research on musical content and learning sequences to the instrumental classroom. Rather than reinforce traditional teaching methodologies, A Sound Approach to Teaching Instrumentalists seeks to encourage musical independence and basic musicianship among students. Its premise is that music consists primarily of tonal and rhythmic content and that instrumental teaching and learning can best be accomplished when musical content and learning skills are properly sequenced. A valuable resource for students and professionals, A Sound Approach to Teaching Instrumentalists, Second Edition will become the standard by which instrumental methods texts are measured in years to come.

Computational approaches to music composition and style imitation have engaged musicians, music scholars, and computer scientists since the early days of computing. Music generation research has generally employed one of two strategies: knowledge-based methods that model style through explicitly formalized rules, and data mining methods that apply machine learning to induce statistical models of musical style. The five chapters in this book illustrate the range of tasks and design choices in current music generation research applying machine learning techniques and highlighting recurring research issues such as training data, music representation, candidate generation, and evaluation. The contributions focus on different aspects of modeling and generating music, including melody, chord sequences, ornamentation, and dynamics. Models are induced from audio data or symbolic data. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Mathematics and Music.
