This chapter talks about the different styles of learning that can be used by students in music (ex. picking up music by ear/by eye). This chapter also discusses how music is learned in different nations, in different time periods and and through different styles.
I have no personal experience with the overseas educational learning styles but I can relate to the first part of the summary. My parents have noticed that I have an uncanny knack of picking up music by ear as well as by reading a score. Both my parents and I are unsure of where exactly it came from.
I think that this is a good article to save in my files because it talks about multi-cultural education. I could definitely use this as a reference tool later on down the road to talk about or look back at multi-cultural education examples
