Review # 1 was written on 2010-05-16 00:00:00 Harish Bhatia Lucy Green is an outstanding scholar and it is always a privilege to read her work. She has a capacity to enter difficult, controversial and challenging discourses and arguments and lay a pathway through these issues for the rest of us. This book is impressive because - theoretically - it subverts theorizations of cultural value. From that foundation, we can begin to understand how music education (and learning and training) can take place. I am most moved by her direct engagement with what is happening in primary education at the moment, particularly with regard to music education. The lack of both expertise and confidence in music by primary teachers is deeply deeply troubling and hampering concrete and passionate musical engagement in generation of students.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-01 00:00:00 Angela Williams This book was the first book I've ever read that touched on this topic, and at first reading in 2014 I was nodding my head till the end as I could relate to almost topic discussed. I re-read this book again this year, and while still agreeing with every point it made, I began to notice the aspects that were consciously excluded from the analysis and discussions as it was decided that they 'lie at the edges of the book's central concerns' (p. 12). I find myself constantly agreeing and yet at the same time constantly wondering if those aspects had bearings on the findings presented. Nonetheless, the aim of the book is to discuss how popular musicians learn, not why they learnt in a certain way (even though I believe answering the 'why' would make the 'how' more meaningful), and in that light, this book did answer the questions it put forth, and for anyone interested in this topic, this is not only a book worth reading, but the one you should start with.
