RJA #3b: Research Topic Focus
The topic of learning a musical instrument in a notation-based or an aural-based setting could spark many discussions. One being is learning how to read and write music really a necessary skill? The answer is yes an no. I know that in a modern western style ensemble it is imperative that you know how to read notated music because usually you will have to have the music prepared before you even practice or audition for a part. If you did not know how to read music then you would have nothing prepared and would not get the part or hired again for a part, no matter how skilled or talented a player you are. But in other ensembles such as African drumming, there is no notated music and therefor you just have to know (by memory) patterns and rhythms you have learned. If you are relying on notated music then you will have trouble performing in said ensemble.
Another sub-topic could also be is it better for solidifying skills to learn aurally or off notated music? Well, again it comes down to the setting. If you do not need to read notated music for the ensemble then you skills need to be solidified in an aural fashion for the student to better be able to perform in that setting. If the student is performing in a notation-based ensemble then learning how to visualize patterns and differences on a page is very important. But even in that situation, learning how to play scales and different physically challenging attributes of the instrument by memory or 'ear' is extremely helpful. So where is the line drawn.
Both in some cases no notation skills are needed but in most cases (if not all) aural skills are needed.

RJA #3a: Research Topic Expanation
I decided to start as broad as I could. I did a general google search of 'methods for teaching musical instruments'. I decided to go to the Wikipedia link just to get the juices flowing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_education
The first thing that jumps out at me was it listed four 'major' international music methods that all very different a are based off of teachers and their methods. Along with that, it lists five other 'notable' methods for teaching based off of others teachings and studies around the world. It then goes on to give a brief history of music education as well as listing some sources and teachers that I can explore. The information seems to be more based on the western ways of music education but I also feel that it can lead me to different sights that will be more geared toward other musics.
I then googled 'world music teaching methods' and found what appears to be an article reviewing what a group of musical 'experts' ,from a variety of different schools and institutions, were talking about regarding the question "how do you teach music in an intercultural environment?" It is on a forum sight called World Music Centre: Worlds of Music.
http://www.cdime-network.com/wom/0212031452477748
The article describes the discussion and how they cover four topics: Context, authenticity, tradition and place of musics in society. It goes through highlighting some main points and describing the differing opinions of the different experts but then comes to a conclusion of the whole discussion. It concludes that their is no definitive way to teach music in a intercultural environment other than to be flexible and open to teaching in a variety of ways. The article also gives the opposites of different methods for teaching (Examples of continuums in approaches to teaching music in an intercultural environment: Tradition - - - Innovation ; Reconstructed authenticity - - - New identities ; Monocultural - - - Transcultural ; Notation-based - - - Aural ; Analytical - - - Holistic) which can help to further my research.
What I am really looking to find for the center of my research is the differences (pluses and minuses) of learning to play from a aural and or a notation-based teaching method. Being taught primarily from a notation-based system myself, I want to explore the aural method more because I have developed an opinion that it has more benefits to my mind. I also want to discuss how every student learns differently therefor should be taught in a more notation-based or more aural based method depending on what works best.
