Musical Creativity
This collection initiates a resolutely interdisciplinary research dynamic specifically concerning musical creativity. Creativity is one of the most challenging issues currently facing scientific psychology and its study has been relatively rare in the cognitive sciences, especially in artificial intelligence. This book will address the need for a coherent and thorough exploration. Musical Creativity: Multidisciplinary Research in Theory and Practice comprises seven sections, each viewing musical creativity from a different scientific vantage point, from the philosophy of computer modelling, through music education, interpretation, neuroscience, and music therapy, to experimental psychology. ...

Raising Musical Kids
Does music make kids smarter? At what age should a child begin music lessons? Where should you purchase an instrument? What should parents expect from a child's teachers and lessons? How can you get kids to practice? Raising Musical Kids answers these and many other questions as it guides parents through everything from assembling a listening library for kids, to matching a child's personality with an instrument's personality, to finding musical resources in your community. Knowing that children can—and often do—get most of their music education from their school, parent and educator Robert Cutietta explores the features and benefits of elementary and secondary school programs, and shows how parents can work with the schools to provide the best possible music program. Throughout the book, Cutietta emphasizes the joy of participating in music for its own sake. The first edition of Raising Musical Kids delighted and informed parents to equal degrees, and this fully-revised second edition is a book that parents everywhere will treasure as a complete road map for developing their child's musical abilities.
Egotism, Elitism, and the Ethics of Musical Humility
"Scenes from the music video unravel quickly under a piano loop and an 808 drum groove. The figure raps from Jesus' center seat of a long table depicting DaVinci's The Last Supper. He lies in a pile of cash as fawning women count it all around him. Cloaked in white, he stands among a sea of men dressed in black. "Sit down," he repeatedly commands while he stubbornly stands. "Be humble." The all-caps title of Kendrick Lamar's hit song "HUMBLE." leaves no question that his song is, or should be, about humility. Yet, many would probably write it off as an audacious display of bravado instead. His opening question - "wicked or weakness?" - points precisely to this contradiction: a socially constructed binary between arrogance and humility. A Black man who projects strength, resilience, and pride is judged as arrogant; wicked. But to be humble is to be servile; weak"--
Conversations with Women in Musical Theatre Leadership
Most writers, composers, librettists, and music directors who make their careers in musical theatre do so without specific training or clear pathways to progress through the industry. Conversations with Women in Musical Theatre Leadership addresses that absence by drawing on the experiences of these women to show the many and varied routes to successful careers on, off, and beyond Broadway. Conversations with Women in Musical Theatre Leadership features 15 interviews with Broadway-level musical theatre music directors, directors, writers, composers, lyricists, stage managers, orchestrators, music arrangers, and other women in positions of leadership. Built around extensive interviews with women at the top of their careers in the creative and leadership spheres of musical theatre, these first-hand accounts offer insight into the jobs themselves, the skills that they require, and how those skills can be developed. Any students of musical theatre and stagecraft, no matter what level and in what setting from professional training to university and conservatory study, will find this a valuable asset.
