The span of topics is vast, from learning theory to musical development, motivation, critical thinking, and insights on the acquisition of key skills that embrace music listening, music reading, singing, and very much more...This volume will find relevance in graduate seminars and advanced undergraduate courses, and will function as far more than mere reviews of literature but as means of launching further inquiry into the phenomenon of how music is learned by learners of every age from infancy onward. * Patricia Shehan Campbell, Donald E.
