With performance and tuition repertoire across genres and insights into educational theory, this book introduces the term “HIPME” and is a first for Higher Instrumental Popular Music Education and popular music performance.

Seeking to inspire instrumental teachers and students within Higher Education, along with those teachers and performers of popular music performance, this book is intended to; develop one-to-one instrumental tuition practices, provide suitable HE performance and tuition repertoire, and expand educational awareness.

Beginning with an introduction to educational theory, and endeavouring to avoid either superficiality or excessive detail, the book narrows the gap between the academics who discuss educational theory and the practitioners who deliver popular music instrumental practice and tuition.

By presenting specific educational theories with ideas for their systematic use within ‘HIPME’, the book provides;

• An operational toolkit for both student and teacher
• Performance and tuition repertoire
• An insight into educational theory

Along with its text, it also provides;

• A range of musical scores & minus one play-a-longs (available for digital download)
• Academic references for further research

This book presents the opportunity for a deeper understanding of how educational theory can benefit instrumental tuition leading to new ideas and practices.
