Learning Sequences in Music: Skill, Content, and Patterns / Edwin E. Gordon / Hardcover - This book is a seminal achievement certain to be read and re-read by generations of music educators to come.

Learning Sequences in Music: Skill Content, and Patterns is a milestone in music education. This book is perhaps the most provocative exploration ever written of how we learn music, from infancy to adulthood, and what we should do to teach music more effectively. Professor Gordon continues to present a feast of ideas in this new (seventh) edition, combining the latest experimental and observational research in music learning with his own experience teaching students of all ages. Issues covered include the state of music today, audiation, individual differences, aptitude, readiness, measurement and evaluation, and a new chapter on improvisation.
