Sheryl Iott's book "Cognitive Science and Musical Development: Teaching and Learning Methods for Musicians of All Skill Levels" explores the relevance of cognitive science to musical development and provides practical teaching and learning methods for musicians of all skill levels. The book is divided into three parts: the beginning musician, the intermediate musician, and the advanced musician. The beginning musician focuses on important cognition topics such as language acquisition, aural processing, and audiation, while the intermediate musician explores more advanced cognitive processes such as visual processing, chunking, and early problem solving. The advanced musician focuses on higher levels of knowledge representation and a more creative approach to problem solving, with strategies to tackle the most difficult repertoire. The book includes sample lesson plans, workshop templates, and sample practice assignments.
