Overview
Instrumental music teaching and learning is a major part of music education in almost all cultures and traditions and many young people’s lives are enriched by playing a musical instrument. How musical instruments are taught varies considerably across different musical traditions, and digital technologies and social media mean that young people now have much more choice about how they learn musical instruments.
Instrumental Teaching: Perspectives and Challenges has an international authorship. Its chapters explore major themes in instrumental music teaching including creativity, assessment, motivation, access and inclusion and the use of music technology. Other chapters examine recent research into instrumental teaching and learning, historical perspectives and the relationship between the teacher and musician identities.
This book is an important publication for all involved in music education, and in particular it provides an opportunity for those whose role includes teaching musical instruments to reflect on their practice. It will also be an invaluable resource for those engaged in research into instrumental teaching and learning as well as those supporting the professional development of instrumental music teachers.
