My son would never ever have shared an ear bug of his mp3 player with me or anybody else.
usually he never had any problems sharing things with other kids or other people but there was something about those ear bugs. I never found out.

Comment on Review of Kathryn Marsh’s The Musical Playground by Tyler Bickford

Thanks for commenting, Corin! Writing that review for a folklore journal, I wanted to underscore how relevant the book is for folklorists and ethnomusicologists, even though it's framed as an intervention in music education. But I worry a bit that that point came off more critically than it was meant. I keep finding that I think about The Musical Playground constantly when I'm thinking about kids and media and music; it's just such a rich set of data, and it can be taken in so many directions.

And man, those transcriptions are incredible.

all best,
Tyler

Comment on Review of Kathryn Marsh’s The Musical Playground by Corin Bone

I was Kathy’s research assistant on this book for several years (including lots of transcribing the untranscribable!), and I wanted to say thanks for such a thoughtful response to the book. I agree with you that there are so many exciting conclusions we could draw from this stuff, and Kathy’s conclusions don’t attempt to cover all of them. Especially, for music education, finding out exactly what these “playful” pedagogies might look like, and how children would respond to their world being “noticed” by their teachers. There are some big challenges here to Kodaly, Orff and other “methods” that primitivise children, especially those teachers who restrict their students to pentatonic scales for years, when heaps of the kids whose games we transcribed were perfectly capable of aurally discriminating, imitating, singing, and teaching each other songs featuring the most bizarre musical intervals. There certainly weren’t many descending minor thirds, I can tell you that.
Anyway just thought I’d leave a comment, even though you published this ages ago!
