Abstract‘The Sequence of Musical Development’ by Swanwick and Tillman was published in the British Journal of Music Education (BJME) in 1986. This year marks its 35th anniversary and provides an occasion to look back on the article’s content and legacy. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the antecedents for the article’s underlying concepts, as well as how our understanding of children and young people’s musical behaviours and development has evolved. Alternate and more nuanced perspectives, both available at the time and since, draw on an expanding, diverse, multidisciplinary research base. These enable us to have a better grasp of the strengths of the original, as well as what continues to need investigation.

对音乐发展理念的思考

Swanwick 和 Tillman 的摘要“音乐发展的顺序”于 1986 年在英国音乐教育杂志 (BJME) 上发表。今年是其 35 周年，并提供了一个回顾文章内容和遗产的机会。这也是一个反思文章基本概念的前因，以及我们对儿童和青少年音乐行为和发展的理解如何演变的机会。替代和更细微的观点，无论是在当时还是从那以后，都利用了不断扩大的、多样化的、多学科的研究基础。这些使我们能够更好地掌握原作的长处，以及哪些方面还需要继续研究。
