Description: Over the last twenty years the face of music education in Britain has changed dramatically--from deep doldrums to a vibrantly active scene, the object of worldwide admiration. At the start of that process the pioneering Sound and Silence had great influence. Now comes a sequel, Sound and Structure, presenting John Paynter's most recent thinking about musical creativity and drawing together the threads of his work in this field over many years. This is a practical book, by a composer and teacher who has made a distinguished contribution to music education. Sound and Structure explores and explains the purpose behind the practice: we learn--by doing it--how music is put together.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 219) and index.
