The central concern of Musical Knowledge is the relationship between intuition and analysis as we engage with music. The dialectic is exposed on three levels: in considering music as a way of knowing in the context of specific research into musical experience and music education; and as a productive tension in music teaching. This final part will be of direct practical help to teachers.
