From the Archive
Do you know someone who is a “metaphor merchant, trader in analogy, and a symbol monger?” If this sounds familiar, you have listened to the Reimer/Gordon Debate on Music Learning that was featured in the December 2022 GIML For your Audiation Newsletter located under From the Archive . . . If you have not listened to this debate, we highly recommend you do.
Did you know that Gordon’s notes for the opening remarks for this debate can be found in the Edwin E. Gordon Archive? The 10-page paper can be found under Papers and is titled, Gordon's and Reimer's Visions of Music Education - Complementary or Contradictory? Almost everything written in the paper is spoken in the remarks. We recommend you follow along with this paper while listening to the debate. It is interesting to see what parts of the opening remarks Gordon chose not to read at the debate. For example, he left out one paragraph toward the end where he discusses appreciation. This transcription may provide a valuable resource when quoting or paraphrasing Gordon’s opening remarks in research.
Gordon’s remarks can be found at the Edwin E. Gordon Archive under Papers. It is listed as the second entry, below the entry, Forward¸ that was featured in last month’s GIML For your Audiation Newsletter.
