DESCRIPTION:As a part of societies worldwide\, music is a universal featur
 e of human culture. Regardless of genre or style\, people enjoy wonderful 
 musical performances as moving\, emotional\, and memorable experiences. Wh
 ile music is remarkably entertaining in this context\, audiences often ove
 rlook the related cognitive value. This presentation explores and combines
  that element in a holistic model of Musical Thinking as the psychomotor\,
  affective\, and cognitive engagement with musical experiences. Based on a
  forthcoming book publication\, this holistic approach to musical thinking
  represents a new direction in music education. By reframing music teachin
 g and learning in terms that reflect the multi-dimensional and inherently 
 meaningful nature of music\, this approach describes the creative and resp
 onsive processes that occur preceding\, during\, and following musical exp
 eriences. The resultant model and taxonomy for musical thinking offers tea
 chers and students a theoretical framework with practical applications. Th
 is presentation includes an examination of established and emergent resear
 ch on student engagement and interdisciplinary arts education as practical
  examples of the model in action. By embracing musical thinking as an amal
 gamation of knowing\, doing\, and feeling\, this model articulates and enh
 ances meaningful\, multi-modal musical experiences with practical suggesti
 ons for memorable and effective music teaching and learning.\n\n*Bio*\n\n*
