Many general music teachers use a variety of methods in their classrooms. The Generative Theory of Musical Learning can serve as a basis for a variety of general music methodologies. Developed by Eunice Boardman, the Generative Theory of Musical Learning influenced general music textbooks from 1966 to 1988, and it continues to influence music educators even today. The purpose of this study was to examine how the theory influenced the six editions of the Holt Music textbook series and to determine how its ideas have continued to be disseminated since the final edition of the Holt series. Data were collected through examination of a variety of primary and secondary sources, including the Holt Music series textbooks, published and unpublished writings from Eunice Boardman, and interviews with coauthors of the series. The study traces the development of the ideas behind the Generative Theory, its influence on the Holt Music series from 1966 to 1988, and the dissemination of the ideas following the conclusion of the series.

Eunice Boardman 的音乐学习生成理论和 Holt 音乐教科书

许多普通音乐教师在课堂上使用各种方法。音乐学习的生成理论可以作为各种通用音乐方法的基础。由尤尼斯·博德曼 (Eunice Boardman) 开发的音乐学习生成理论从 1966 年到 1988 年影响了一般音乐教科书，即使在今天，它仍在继续影响音乐教育者。本研究的目的是检验该理论如何影响霍尔特音乐教科书系列的六版，并确定自霍尔特系列的最终版以来，其思想是如何继续传播的。数据是通过检查各种主要和次要来源收集的，包括 Holt Music 系列教科书、Eunice Boardman 已发表和未发表的著作，以及对该系列合著者的采访。
