>How Popular Musicians Learn A Way Ahead for Music Education by Lucy Green
Posted by jyrkitenni on November 1st , 2016
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?
Feedback from a piano teacher:
"Having been a piano teacher for 30 years and understanding the fact that there was this 'missing subject', I fully expected other teachers to be excited about having the material organized for them. Any of the following could be the reason:
1. Students are not asked to provide acc. for a melody as part of the formal examinations.
2. Most teachers have not been trained in this area and are sometimes intimidated. (Or feel it is below their dignity!)
3. Teacher could be concerned about the student surpassing them in that area.
4. Not enough time at the lesson. (Most likely would find time if given marks at the exam!)
5. By opening the door the teacher could lose the student to the classics”

Please be aware of this, as I have had these calls from the switch board ? if you receive one hang up IMMEDITELY!
Phone Fraud ? Warning from the Police 11 May 2005 we have been advised of a telephone fraud currently in operation, this applies to home and work telephone , landlines and mobile phones. If you receive one of these calls, upon answering the telephone you will hear a recorded message congratulating you on winning and all expenses trips to an exotic location. You will then be asked to press 9 to hear further details. If you press 9 you will be connected to a premium rate line that cost approximately ?20 per minute. Even if you disconnect immediately, it will remain connected for a minimum of 5 minutes costing around ?100. The final part of the call involves you being asked to key in the postcode and house number, which has other serous consequences. After a further 2 minutes you will receive a message informing you that you are not one of the lucky winners. The total bill by then will be ?100. Since the calls are originated from outside the UK , BT and other telephone companies are left relatively powerless to act. The only save solution is to HANG UP before the message prompt you to dial 9. Even safer HANG UP on any unsolicited ?free offers calls?. There is another scam operating on mobile phones as well. A missed call comes up. The number is 0709 020 3840, the latest four number may vary, but certainly the first for will remain the same. If you call this number back you will be charged ?50 per minute.
People have complained about their phone bills, once they have realised the cost of the call , but apparently this is completely legal. So beware, do not call back numbers beginning with 0709.
