DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThis presentation will offer some examples of appr
 oaches to learning and teaching within formal music education environments
 \, based on the informal learning practices of popular musicians. Running 
 through the presentation will be three main questions. Firstly\, how and w
 hy might formal music educators adopt and adapt the informal learning prac
 tices of popular\, and other vernacular musicians\, and bring them into ou
 r teaching? Secondly\, what kinds of approaches do children display when s
 uch learning practices are introduced into formal settings? Thirdly\, what
  can we learn about our own roles as teachers through these approaches\, a
 nd what kinds of teaching strategies might be useful in such contexts? Inf
 ormal music learning practices differ in a range of ways from the approach
 es we tend to adopt in formal settings\; whilst they are not put forward a
 s alternative strategies\, I will suggest that such practices can be a hel
 pful and indeed liberating addition to existing practices. The talk will c
 over work that has taken place in secondary-school classrooms and instrume
 ntal tuition.\n\nBio\n\nLucy Green is Professor of Music Education at the
