His principal teachers at Princeton were Edward Cone, Daniel Werts, and Carlton Gamer in composition, Claudio Spies and Paul Lansky in analysis, and Jerry Kuderna in piano. In 1984, Greenberg received a Ph.D. in music composition, With Distinction, from the University of California, Berkeley, where his principal teachers were Andrew Imbrie and Olly Wilson in composition and Richard Felciano in analysis.

Greenberg has composed over fifty works for a wide variety of instrumental and vocal ensembles. Performances of his works have taken place in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, England, Ireland, Greece, Italy and The Netherlands, where his Child's Play for String Quartet was performed at the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam.

Learning Sequences in Music - 2012 edition

A Contemporary Music Learning Theory

Edwin E. Gordon

1998, 2003, 2007, 2012 GIA Publications, Inc.

Description:

The first major revision of this groundbreaking book in 10 years!

Learning Sequences in Music: Skill, Content, and Patterns is a milestone in music education. This book is perhaps the most provocative exploration ever written of how we learn music, from infancy to adulthood, and what we should do to teach music more effectively.

Revised, expanded, and completely rewritten for this eighth and final edition, Professor Edwin E. Gordon's continued research reaffirms his place as perhaps the world's principal thinker and researcher in music education. Early controversial ideas championed by Gordon have now been widely accepted in the field: the importance of standardized tests, the crucial role of early childhood music education, and the fundamental need to teach audiation as a precursor to music reading.

Professor Gordon continues to present a feast of ideas in this new edition, combining the latest experimental and observational research in music learning with his own experience teaching students of all ages. Topics covered include: the state of music today, audiation, individual differences, aptitude, readiness, and measurement and evaluation.

This book is a monumental achievement sure to be read and reread by generations of music educators to come.

Edwin E. Gordon is known throughout the world as a preeminent researcher, teacher, author, editor, and lecturer in the field of music education. After receiving bachelor's and master's degrees in string bass performance from the Eastman School of Music and a second master's degree in education from Ohio University, Gordon attended the University of Iowa, where he earned a PhD. As a professor of music, he held the Carl E. Seashore Chair for Research in Music Education at Temple University, where he was presented with both the Lindback and Great Teacher Awards. Gordon also taught at the University of Iowa and the State University of New York at Buffalo. At the University of Iowa, he became general editor of Studies in the Psychology of Music, and the school has honored him with their Distinguished Alumni Award. He has also been named a Herb Alpert Visiting Scholar at the Berklee School of Music.

Gordon's five most well-known books are The Psychology of Music Teaching, Learning Sequences in Music, Introduction to Research and the Psychology of Music, Rhythm: Contrasting the Implications of Audiation and Notation, and A Music Learning Theory for Newborn and Young Children. Among the seven standardized tests he developed are the Musical Aptitude Profile; Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced Measures of Music Audiation; Iowa Tests of Music Literacy; Instrument Timbre Preference Test; and Harmonic and Rhythm Improvisation Readiness Records.

"Brooks traces all kinds of lines, finding unexpected points of connection...inviting voices to talk to one another, seeing what different perspectives can offer, opening up new ways of looking and listening by tracing lineages and calling for more space." ― New York Times ― Margo Jefferson, author of the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning

"Daphne Brooks has written a gloriously polyphonic book. Moving through the tumult of the twentieth century and the millennium, she scores, archives, and curates the history of Black woman musicians and their radical modernities, all created in a culture that presumed they had no voices or minds. What did they do to be so Black, brilliant, and blue? Listen. And read on." Negroland Liner Notes is a secret history...connecting the sonic worlds of Black female mythmakers and truth-tellers." ― Rob Sheffield

"Brooks takes on a wide-ranging study of Black female artists, from elders like Bessie Smith and Ethel Waters to Beyoncé and Janelle Monáe. But she reaches far beyond music, exploring writers like Zora Neale Hurston and Pauline Hopkins... , Rolling Stone Lemonade -era Beyoncé...In articulating the intellectual labor of so many Black women artists―unknown, 'undertheorized,' or both―she implicitly acknowledges those who, for whatever reason, didn't make it into the capital-A archive, but whose contributions surround us nonetheless... Liner Notes is a loud warning shot: seeing Black women everywhere is not the same as seeing Black women." ―

"Brooks moves deftly between eras, from early-twentieth-century blues and vaudeville to Rawiya Kameir , Bookforum ― Stephanie Phillips , The Wire ― George Grella , Brooklyn Rail Liner Notes for the Revolution doesn't merely give voice to unheeded and crucial innovators; it offers a new method for approaching music history itself." ― Ann Powers, author of Good Booty Liner Notes for the Revolution is itself a new kind of music: propulsive, witty, wise, and true." ― Hilton Als, author of

"Takes on the weighty task of sifting through more than a century's worth of music history, cultural criticism and long forgotten archives to explore the revolutionary practices of Black women musicians...Brooks is effusive in her belief that not only did these women exist in spaces previously thought to be exclusively white, she suggests their impact can be felt in all spheres of music today." White Girls Liner Notes for the Revolution , she feels and shows and says this with such devotion, such critical and emotional intelligence, such archival commitment and dexterity, and such urgent social aspiration that listening itself is new again." ― Fred Moten, author of All That Beauty Liner Notes for the Revolution

"A passionate book, written with a vigorous confidence...Brooks's command of history and her reading are broad and deep...Instinct says there is a large audience that is not only sympathetic to what she has to say but would be charged up by Brooks's ideas, that would hear in the music what Brooks hears." is a groundbreaking and breathtaking volume from one of our leading cultural historians that will forever change the way we write and think about American culture. Daphne Brooks insists upon the genius of Black women music-makers, listeners, and critics. This transformative work of intellectual generosity is sure to join the ranks of classic works such as Amiri Baraka's Blues People and Greil Marcus's Lipstick Traces ." ― Farah Jasmine Griffin, author of Harlem Nocturne

"Effortlessly poetic, deeply historical, and insistently imaginative, ― Los Angeles Times ― Pitchfork ― Shanice Wolters ,

"Daphne Brooks's brilliant evocation of what gets lost when women of color don't speak, let alone sing, is one of the most moving testaments to the power of silence, and what breaking that silence means, that I have ever read. Vivid, joyful, and heartbreaking in its passionate understanding of soul in all its manifestations, Women and Music Liner Notes for the Revolution spans generations of Black women as musical pioneers, including Ma Rainey, Billie Holiday, and Tina Turner, and calls attention to their resounding influence." ― Jaelani Turner-Williams , Teen Vogue ―

"For Daphne Brooks, black feminist sound is sensuous thought. In Publishers Weekly ― Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ― New Books Network ― Jordannah Elizabeth , Amsterdam News ― Danielle A. Jackson , Vulture

"It went so many unexpected places and it fed me. I was especially drawn to the under-told stories of trailblazing women who were the collectors, archivists, and storytellers. She's made what has been in the shadows legible. It's full of stories of creative resistance and persistence. Perfect for this moment."

"A sweeping survey of Black women's contributions to music history and a rigorous mapping of their lives as intellectuals. From Bessie Smith to Beyoncé...A positively revolutionary 'critical re-attunement.'"

"A groundbreaking study that is necessary reading for scholars of Black studies, women's studies, sound studies, and performance studies. The methods and arguments put forth by Brooks will undoubtedly inspire the growth of Black feminist archival scholarship dedicated to unearthing the stories of many more sidelined, yet-to-be-recognized culture makers."

"Through storytelling, analysis, and archival research,

"Enlightening...a fresh perspective on more than a century's worth of Black female musicians...Brooks combines an impressive archive of musical works and the artists' own words to convincingly reveal how they each impacted popular culture. Music aficionados should take note."

"A spirited study of how Black women musicians and writers have informed each other despite gatekeepers' neglect and dismissals...A sui generis and essential work on Black music culture destined to launch future investigations."

"A lyrical masterpiece that takes readers on an exhilarating journey through a century of Black sound from Bessie Smith to Beyoncé...Brooks' liner notes are a 'requiem' for the oversight of Black women musicians and their intellectual resonance."

"An impressive exploration of Black women's intellectuality in music."

"Rich with insights...A rigorous and sweeping counter-history of American pop."

Daphne A. Brooks is author of Jeff Buckley's Grace and Bodies in Dissent , winner of the Errol Hill Award for outstanding scholarship in African American performance studies. The William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of African American Studies and Professor of Theater Studies, American Studies, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale University, Brooks has written liner notes to accompany the recordings of Aretha Franklin, Tammi Terrell, and Prince, as well as stories for the New York Times , The Guardian , The Nation , and Pitchfork .
