Abstract

Gordon´s Music Learning Theory (MLT) is well known around the world as are his tests developed to measure audiation, a neologism he created for a fundamental element of this theory. This article tries to summarize his own ideas as they relate to a period before audiation and to show the resources that were designed by him and his team in accordance with his theory. From there, one can observe how these ideas move from theory to practice.
