Gordon music learning theory
Model for music education
Gordon music-learning theory is a model for music education based on Edwin Gordon's research on musical aptitude and achievement in the greater field of music learning theory.[1][2] The theory is an explanation of music learning, based on audiation (see below) and students' individual musical differences.
The theory takes into account the concepts of discrimination and inference learning in terms of tonal, rhythmic, and harmonic patterns.[3][4]
Audiation
"Audiation" is a term Gordon coined in 1975 to refer to comprehension and internal realization of music, or the sensation of an individual hearing or feeling sound when it is not physically present.[5] Musicians previously used terms such as "aural perception" or "aural imagery" to describe this concept, though "aural imagery" would imply a notational component while audiation does not necessarily do so.[6] Go
