Abstract

This article explores the ways in which popular musicians in Malaysia learn the craft of Western popular music-making in comparison to those in the United Kingdom. Literature that studied popular musicians and their practices had largely focused on communities within Anglosphere regions, and there are insufficient understandings of the journeys of non-Anglosphere popular musicians to determine if their experiences coincided with those from Anglosphere nations. In this mixed method study, popular musicians from Malaysia and the UK completed online questionnaires that enquired into their experiences with formal learning, as well as the practices they engaged in. Secondary data was also harvested from literature based on UK musicians for triangulation purposes. Though the findings indicated numerous overlaps in the experiences of popular musicians from both countries, there were areas of distinction. Malaysian popular musicians were more inclined than their counterparts in the UK, to engage with formal popular music learning, to cultivate a reliance on notation, and to experience instrumental lessons that comprised more features of informal learning. Implications from this article include the need to further investigate the factors behind the disparities, and to afford increased attention towards the learning cultures of non-Anglosphere popular musicians.

基于英语圈的流行音乐学习文化特征在马来西亚背景下的适用性

本文探讨了马来西亚流行音乐人与英国流行音乐人相比，学习西方流行音乐制作工艺的方式。研究流行音乐家及其实践的文献主要集中在英语圈地区的社区，对非英语圈流行音乐家的旅程了解不足，无法确定他们的经历是否与英语圈国家的经历一致。在这项混合方法研究中，来自马来西亚和英国的流行音乐人完成了在线问卷调查，询问了他们的正式学习经历以及他们所从事的实践。二级数据也从基于英国音乐人的文献中收集，用于三角测量。尽管研究结果表明，两国流行音乐人的经历有很多重叠，但也有不同的地方。马来西亚流行音乐人比英国流行音乐人更倾向于参与正式的流行音乐学习，培养对记谱的依赖，并体验包含更多非正式学习特征的器乐课程。这篇文章的启示包括需要进一步调查差异背后的因素，并对非英语圈流行音乐家的学习文化给予更多关注。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Music Education (IJME) is a peer-reviewed journal published by the International Society for Music Education (ISME) four times a year. Manuscripts published are scholarly works, representing empirical research in a variety of modalities. They enhance knowledge regarding the teaching and learning of music with a special interest toward an international constituency. Manuscripts report results of quantitative or qualitative research studies, summarize bodies or research, present theories, models, or philosophical positions, etc. Papers show relevance to advancing the practice of music teaching and learning at all age levels with issues of direct concern to the classroom or studio, in school and out, private and group instruction. All manuscripts should contain evidence of a scholarly approach and be situated within the current literature. Implications for learning and teaching of music should be clearly stated, relevant, contemporary, and of interest to an international readership.
