Opens a conversation about the life and work of the music teacher. The author regards music teaching as interrelated with the rest of lived life, and her themes encompass pedagogical skills as well as matters of character, disposition, value, personality, and musicality. She urges music teachers to think and act artfully.
Music education has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. Whereas lessons were once characterised by their passivity, children now learn about music through actively engaging in it by performing, composing, listening and appraising. This reader places music education in context and then goes on to examine a range of issues linked to the teaching and learning of music. The latter half of the book concentrates on music education within the classroom, highlighting the kinds of points which all teachers of music will have to consider.
Year after year, music teachers face the same challenges running an effective school music program: to motivate students to grow as musicians, and simply keep them in the program. Pathways is a book that addresses such challenges. Musician and teacher Joseph Alsobrook explains how to meet the needs of music students while simultaneously enjoying a rewarding career as a music educator. This book is divided into five major sections, each full of hands-on suggestions, and each targeting an "essential gift" that all students need to receive. These gifts are the pathways that lead to musical and personal enrichment for students and teachers alike.
Pilgrimage Through Loss tells the story of one family’s journey after the loss of a child, and how they hope their journey can provide lessons for other parents dealing with that most heartbreaking of losses. Using her own story, and the stories of other parents who have lost children, Hunt discusses several steps that grieving parents take along the pilgrimage. Rather than prescribing a path that will lead to recovery, Hunt shows us the many paths that parents will take after the death of a child and encourages them to find the path that works for them. Questions for discussion and reflection are included for each chapter. This book helps grieving parents and other survivors, such as siblings and friends, along their way toward survival and recovery.

The teaching and learning of music around the world have evolved in diverse ways as social, industrial, and cultural developments have influenced the ways humans understand, organize, and collectivize music education. Revolutions in Music Education: Historical and Social Explorations chronicles major changes in music education that continue to shape practices in the twenty-first century. The contributors investigate the organizational, pedagogical, and strategic approaches to teaching music across the ages. The universality of music is manifest in the chapters of this book, providing meaning and insight from all geographic, socio-political, and economic contexts.
The purpose of the Strategies for Teaching series is to help music teachers implement the K-12 National Music Education Standards and MENC's Prekindergarten Standards. Hundreds of music teachers across the country participated in this project. Each publication focuses on a specific curricular area and a particular level. Each includes teaching strategies based on the content and achievement standards, a preface and an introduction, and a resource list.
