    Underlying mechanisms and processes in the development of emotion perception in music
    Schubert, E ; MCPHERSON, G ; McPherson, GE (Oxford University Press, 2015)
    This chapter proposes a spiral model to explain the development of the perception of emotion in music from infant to adolescent. Development begins with a “schematic” processing style (related to “absolutism”) which links emotion and music via automated responses to the environment, such as a startle to sudden loud sounds or attraction to infant-directed speech. The young child then moves into a period where veridical/one-to-one music–emotion connections are formed (related to “referentialism”) primarily as a result of exposure to cultural norms. The spiral then winds back toward an emphasis on schematic links, where children draw on their repertoire of musical experiences, and react at adult levels of emotion perception in music. The period of adolescence sees the spiral move back to a more individualized veridical processing focus, where pressures to become young adults and develop a personal identity drive the desire to form links with individual pieces and/or performers.

    Musical literacy: Reading traditional clef notation
    Mills, J ; McPherson, G ; McPherson, GE (Oxford University Press, 2015)
    This chapter discusses what it means for a child to be “musically literate.” It focuses on the fundamental aspects of learning to use traditional staff notation, and how children develop their capacity to make music, reflect on the music in which they are engaged, express their views on music which they play, hear, or create, speak about and listen to music in order to form judgments, and read, write, comprehend, and interpret staff notation. The chapter shows how conceptions of being “musically literate” are fraught with problems related to defining what is meant by music and the various situations in which children might be engaged musically. It is also suggested that reading staff notation is not a prerequisite for successful engagement with and appreciation of music, and that an exclusive concentration on reading has held back the progress of countless learners, while putting many others off completely.
