Why is it important?
With the growth and prevalence of classroom pedagogies designed to foster popular musicianship, there is an ever present need to reconcile the gap between the formal knowledge framed and valued in curriculum, and the informal knowledge these students bring to classroom learning encounters.
Perspectives
The first publication from my PhD. Thesis, I hope that this article provides an important case for much needed curriculum reform surrounding the inclusion of student popular musicians in school music education.
