I think one of the most important things NYU has given me thus far is a thirst for knowledge. I truly now am more interested in all of the different ideas and theories that go along with music education and education in general. More specifically i am thoroughly invested in reading the book about the Music Learning theory of Edwin Gordon. I am an early childhood person so this theory about starting music before birth really speaks to my interests. It is an explanation of how we learn, when we learn music. He focuses on the way in which we learn speech and other forms of communication and knowledge and compares how we don't learn music that way. I cannot wait to be more knowledgable because this book has been wonderful so far.
