This chapter employs a cultural psychology lens to explore the ways in which Balinese children's learning of traditional music and dance is shaped by their culture's uses and valuing of music, and beliefs and practices concerning teaching and learning. The discussion begins by emphasizing reasons for children's learning of music and the methods through which children acquire music with reference to literature on Bali that, since the 1930s, has tangentially alluded to children as learners and performers. It then interprets aspects of Balinese culture and society as sites of music learning and teaching that are culturally specific. This demonstrates how children's music activities are important contributions to the life of Balinese communities and how community expectations mandate teaching strategies and learning styles. Much of the discussion is based on fieldwork in Bali conducted between 1999 and 2007.Less

This chapter considers two musical styles outside the Western tonal-harmonic tradition. One study examines the perception of pitch structures in materials drawn from two compositions in the style of 12-tone serialism. The other study takes a cross-cultural approach, using rags from North Indian music. Each of these case studies reveals special psychological capacities and limits for perceiving complex musical sequences.Less
