Discover the beauty of sequential instruction...
Are you interested in Gordon's Music Learning Theory, but are left with more questions than answers?
This new book gives music teachers a brass tacks explanation of MLT in easy to understand language. No PhD required!
The beauty of MLT is that musical skills - reading, writing, improvising, composing, generalization - are all logically organized and sequenced to provide readiness for each musical task.
And in this book, I show you many pathways through these sequences so that you can create a logical musical curriculum that works for you and your students.

The Book
The book is divided into 3 parts.
Part I
In Part I, I discuss the theory of Music Learning Theory.
Part II
In Part II, I discuss the two main practical applications of the theory: Learning Sequence Activities and Classroom Activities.
Part III
And finally, in Part III, I put it all together and offer you a sample curriculum using all of my materials which combines Learning Sequence Activities and Classroom Activities into 10 units based on the theory and practical applications of MLT. The units comprise all levels of discrimination learning and provide bridging opportunities to Generalization and Improvisation.
