How popular Musicians LearnLucy Green (2002)



Quotes from Lucy Green¶s ³How Popular

Musicians Learn´ (2002) ³...Music educators should examine...the informal learningpractices, attitudes, and values...of popular musicians...in relationto the changing position of popular music in education over the lastforty years or so.. Otherwise, we could be deprived of the meansof acquiring the skills and knowledge of some of the very music that

is purported to be represented in formal music education; we couldcontinue to bypass those children and young people who arenonetheless highly musically motivated and committed in their livesoutside the classroom; and we could ignore a potentiallyworthwhile, accessible and inspiring repertoire of approaches tomusic learning.´ (p. 17) ³...Popular musicians rarely use music

notation, and whether they use it or not, they must be able to playwithout it, on the basis of what has been learnt through listening.´ (p. 29)

³Although...notation in one form or another plays a role in learningfor many popular musicians in the early stages , it is always heavilymixed in with aural practices, and used as a supplement rather

than a major learning resource.´ (p. 38)
