Abstract

The notion of the spiral for progression and development is familiar both in general educational discourse as well as in the domain of music education. This brief article considers the spiral within the context of lower-secondary school group composing in England. Through the use of examples taken from two schools in the English midlands, it argues that formative assessment is a key process for enhancing spiral-like musical learning.
