Abstract
Anyone familiar with the work of Lucy Green will not be surprised by the content of Hear, Listen, Play! How to Free Your Students’ Aural, Improvisation, and Performance Skills,which serves as a practical guide for music teachers as they engage with their students in informal music learning practices (see Green, 2001, 2004, 2008). The approach outlined in this handbook reflects 15 years of multi-team research projects involving numerous students and teachers who offered time, expertise, and feedback throughout various stages of the program’s development.
