This article is concerned with teaching-learning processes in Muziki wa Injili
(Gospel Music) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It discusses two methods of teaching and
learning that are commonly used in Muziki wa Injili, namely, imitation and peer-directed
learning. The teaching-learning processes involving members of groups of Muziki wa
Injili, and children who are not members of these groups, are informal in that they do
not take place in a formally organized music classroom. Informal methods such as
those found in most traditional music cultures in Tanzania and in many other oral music
cultures are used. I argue that the adoption of methods from traditional music contexts
into this contemporary music geme is made possible (and even necessary) by the fact
that Muziki wa Injili, like many other popular music genres, is an oral music culture. This
transference is also possible because some members of groups of Muziki wa Injili acquired
their music skills in traditional music contexts where aural/oral teaching and learning by
imitation is the norm. The title of this article intentionally evokes Lucy Green's book,
How Popular Musicians Learn: A Way Ahead for Music Education (2002). In it Green
discusses a number of teaching and learning methods used by popular musicians in the
UK, including peer-directed learning and imitation (also used in Muziki wa Injili) and
advocates the adoption of these methods in formal music schools. |
