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.

Playing with Identities in Contemporary Music in Africa
Author: Annemette KirkegaardPublisher: Nordic Africa Institute
ISBN: 9789171064967
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
The musics of Africa play a particularly important role in expressing and forming identities. This book brings together African and Nordic scholars from both musicology and other disciplines in an attempt to analyse various aspects of the complex playing with volatile identities in music in Africa today. Taken together the papers put new light on the assumed or real dichotomies between countryside and city, collective and individual, tradition and modernity, authentic and alien. The papers are based on contributions for a conference organized by the research project “Cultural Images in and of Africa†of the Nordic Africa Institute together with the Sibelius Museum/Department of Musicology and the Centre for Continuing Education at Ã...bo Akademi University in Ã...bo (Turku), Finland in October 2000. The book includes a keynote speech by Christopher Waterman (UCLA), and an introduction by Annemette Kirkegaard, Copenhagen University. Southern, West and East Africa are represented in the studies, which cover a great variety of musics.
Trends in African Popular Music

Pages : 154
Book Description
Popular music an acculturative product of the African folk musicscrutinized along the lines of musical and social processes as inseparable pair in developing the various genres of the eclectic musical form. In Nigeria, it is the congruent collaboration of creativity and politico-socio-economic activities of the mid-1940s (the period following the World War II) that evolved the various genres of popular music of the landa process that is still in being! The social processes that span through the diverse fields of economics, politics, linguistics, sociology, philosophy, and religion made up a manifold agency of acculturation, commercialization, urbanization, and class stratifications. Similarly, the musical processes emanating from the folk musical practices of conception, composition, and classification of genres; recruitment of group members and administrative personnel; training, packaging, costuming, and aesthetics; and then the performance proper are carried over into a parallel development of a neo-folk form that became popular. The popularity of the new form is due to a socio-musical interchange that is both structural and functional. The peculiar nature of the product of this new musical expressionpoptherefore presents four possible angles for definition. The definitions could be stylistic, sociological, process- or theory-based. The genres developed include highlife, afrobeat, rock, calypso, disco, hip hop, rhythm n blues, funk, and reggae. However, the star feature of this investigation is the Afro-reggae genre of Nigeria. The primary research process of survey was backed up by historical and descriptive methods to unearth the leaning on the rhythm of social life by popular music artistes to develop the African reggae genre, especially in Nigeria.
