This unit examines approaches to the teaching and learning of popular music, and the practices of its many cultures. This includes the study of the problems of defining popular music, of relevant literature, considerations of the place of popular music in music education, analysis methods suitable for investigating popular music at the high school level, songwriting and the performance of popular music, and emerging technologies in relation to popular music studies. Students engage in the latest research, philosophies, and pedagogies around popular music in formal music education, learning to prepare resources for learning and music-making, and eventually creating their own multi-tracked popular music.
