This project provides some resources for introducing classical and world fusion music through informal learning processes.
This project draws on the practice of learning by listening and copying, but using music that may lie outside students’ immediate choice, and might not be familiar to them. The rationale is to continue to adopt informal learning practices, but drawing students away from what they already know and into the wider world of music.
Using this resource
The below contains a number of zip files, one per piece of music, each containing the complete version of a piece, followed by broken-down arrangements of certain components that students can copy and use as guidance materials. We recommend that you initially download the 'Guide to available audio' to see the range of audio material available. The audio files would need to be downloaded and made available to students, either through compiling a CD or downloaded onto MP3 players etc. We suggest selecting 3 or 4 of the below pieces to provide students with a small range of material that they can choose from.
Informal Learning with Other Musics is by: Lucy Green (Institute of Education University of London and Abigail D'Amore (Musical Futures). Additional online materials for world fusion music produced by Danny Fisher.
