Musical Futures Project
UK researcher Lucy Green has been conducting research over the past years that looks into how popular musicians learn. The Musical Futures Project has created a curriculum for students in the UK based around informal learning processes. The interactive website dBass.org is a support website for the project enabling students 11-19 to be a part of a supportive online social community dedicated to sharing their original music. I will be piloting this curriculum and the dBass.org site with students in Indiana this fall. Keep posted to the blog to see how things are going.
In the meantime, check out the wonderful curriculum materials and resources for teachers here.
You can also purchase Lucy Green’s book How Popular Musicians Learn.
