Episode #5
Keys to Music Learning Podcast
How does one learn music? In today’s episode, answers to this question by comparing the process of music learning to the process of language learning. This sequential learning is a key to music learning, because by knowing how our students learn, we can sequence instruction to lead them through listening, performing, improvising, reading, and writing music with understanding.
