Popular musicians acquire some or all of their skills and knowledge informally; outside school or university; and with little help from trained instrumental teachers. How do they go about this process? Despite the fact that popular music has recently entered formal music education; we have as yet a limited understanding of the learning practices adopted by its musicians. Nor do we know why so many popular musicians in the past turned away from music education; or how young popular musicians today are responding to it.Drawing on a series of interviews with musicians aged between fifteen and fifty; Lucy Green explores the nature of pop musicians informal learning practices; attitudes and values; the extent to which these altered over the last forty years; and the experiences of the musicians in formal music education. Through a comparison of the characteristics of informal pop music learning with those of more formal music education; the book offers insights into how we might re-invigorate the musical involvement of the population.
