Out of field thinking

A cross posting from my World of Music blog.

One of the aspects of the work I will be doing over the next year on this blog is to engage with research from "out of field". 

All teachers should engage with subject specific research to add complexity and nuance to their thinking. 

If the sources of information that is used for planning resources is limited, then the resources that are presented to students will not stretch them, or offer opportunities to show what they know first.

I got started on this with a piece by John Schofield and Ron Wright.

PDF download is here.

I will return to Sheffield later in the blog, when I start a series of posts about cities which have a particular "sonic heritage".
