Engaging Students with Music Education DJ decks urban music and child-centred learning

Engaging Students with Music Education is a groundbreaking book about using DJ decks and urban music in mainstream schools to re-engage disaffected learners and develop a curriculum which better reflects overall contemporary tastes. Many young learners are ‘at risk’ of exclusion; this book argues that for such individuals the implications of such a shift in the music curriculum could be especially positive. Drawing extensively on the author’s own wealth of teaching experience and bridging the gap between practice and theory this book demonstrates through case studies that DJ decks can prove extremely valuable in mainstream classroom situations across the secondary school age ranges. Addressing challenging and crucial topics combining rigorous theoretical analysis with practical suggestions the book addresses questions such as: Are DJ decks actually a musical instrument and are they suitable for classroom teaching? Will Ofsted's school inspectors approve of music teaching involving DJ decks and urban music? If we bring urban music into the classroom will this further marginalise classical music? Are DJing and MCing skills recognised within examination specifications at least in the UK? Current teachers will find the practical advice on how to incorporate DJ decks and urban music into their classroom especially helpful whilst educational researchers will be captivated by the critical discussion of the child-centred tradition and a theoretical approach which stretches from ‘continental’ philosophy to practice-based reflection. With an insistence that the starting point for music education should always be the interests and experiences of the learners this book is essential reading for those music teachers and researchers interested in the benefits of non-standard music-making in the classroom. | Engaging Students with Music Education DJ decks urban music and child-centred learning

Level Up: Live Performance and Creative Process in Grime Music

Grime music has been central to British youth culture since the beginning of the 21st century. Performed by MCs and DJs it is an Afrodiasporic form that developed on street corners on pirate radio and at raves. Level Up: Live Performance and Creative Process in Grime Music offers the first long-form ethnographic study of grime practice; it questions how and why artists do what they do; and it asks what this can tell us about creative process and improvisation more widely. Based on research conducted in London’s grime scene—facilitated by the author’s long-standing role as a DJ and broadcaster—this book explores the form’s emergence before taking a magnifying glass to the contemporary scene and its performance protocol exploring the practice of key artists and their crews living and working in the city. The resultant model of creative interaction provides a comprehensive mapping of collective social learning in London’s informal cityscape offering new ways to conceptualise improvisatory practice within ensembles.

White Hip Hoppers Language and Identity in Post-Modern America

This book examines language and identity among White American middle and upper-middle class youth who affiliate with Hip Hop culture. Hip Hop youth engage in practices that range from the consumption of rap music and fashion to practices like MC-ing (writing and performing raps or rhymes) DJ-ing (mixing records to produce a beat for the MC) graffiti tagging and break-dancing. Cutler explores the way in which these young people stylize their speech using linguistic resources drawn from African American English and Hip Hop slang terms. She also looks at the way they construct their identities in discussions with their friends and how they talk about and use language to construct themselves as authentic within Hip Hop. Cutler considers the possibility that young people experimenting with AAVE-styled speech may improve the status of AAVE in the broader society. She also addresses the need for educators to be aware of the linguistic patterns found in AAVE and Hip Hop language and ways to build on Hip Hop skills like rhyming and rapping in order to motivate students and promote literacy. | White Hip Hoppers Language and Identity in Post-Modern America
