A comparative analysis of Edwin Gordon's approach to sequential musical learning and learning sequences found in three elementary general music series

Abstract

dc:description

The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which the materials and suggested sequencing published in three general music textbook series, The Music Book, Silver Burdett Music, and The Spectrum of Music, were compatible with Edwin Gordon's approach to sequential musical learning. Edwin Gordon has provided a music sequence model designed specifically for the teaching and learning of melodic and rhythmic skills in music.
