Educational: Music
Taylor & Francis Ltd Becoming an Outstanding Music Teacher
Book SynopsisBecoming an Outstanding Music Teacher shows how music teachers can provide a curricular and co-curricular experience to inspire and engage students, deliver memorable music lessons, and give every child access to great music. Drawing on a decade of education research, this book focuses on the three facets of music teaching: performance, composition, and how to listen, understand, and explain.This practical book argues that the future of music teaching is best assured by filling classrooms with knowledge and with passion, by informing teaching through intentional use of good research, and by building effective relationships. Exploring what makes music teachers stand out, as well as that which links them with all other teachers, this book covers a vital and diverse range of lesson ideas and practical guidance, including: Teaching music through composition Making the most of the rehearsal room and directing an ensemble How to make best use of classroom time Setting goals, assessment, deliberate practice, and feedback Mastery in music Encouraging all music teachers to reflect upon and develop their craft, this text is essential reading for both newly qualified and experienced music teachers alike.Table of Contents1 The best job in the world? 2 How music works 3 Musical curriculums 4 Mastery in music 5 What does a great music teacher do? 6 Teaching music 7 Knowledge, assessment, and feedback 8 Composing in the lower school 9 Composing in the upper school 10 Performing 11 The best job in the world?Acknowledgements

Taylor & Francis Ltd Whats So Important About Music Education
Book SynopsisWhat's So Important About Music Education? presents a new philosophy of music education for the United States, rooted in history and current perspectives from ethnomusicology. J. Scott Goble explores the societal effects of the nation''s foundations in democracy and capitalism, the constitutional separation of church and state, and the rise of recording, broadcast, and computer technologies. He shows how these and other factors have brought about changes in the ways music teachers and concerned others have conceptualized music and its importance in education. In demonstrating how many of the personal and societal benefits of musical engagement have come to be obscured in the nation's increasingly diverse public forum, Goble argues for the importance of musical engagement in human life and for the importance of music in education. An ideal text for courses in music education foundations, the book concludes with recommendations for teaching the musical practices of the nationTrade Review"What’s So Important About Music Education? is a thoroughly engaging, insightful, and detailed exploration of the history, philosophy, and significance of music education . . . This is unquestionably a valuable book that every serious music student, teacher, and school administrator should read. . . . Truly admirable and inspiring. . . . Goble has presented a new – and perhaps even inevitable – direction for American music schools in the twenty-first century. Let us hope that the nation’s music educators, as well as the general public, will embrace and choose to strongly support Goble’s challenge. It is a positive and essential change that our democratic society truly deserves."– Ernest Kramer, Teachers College Record"A rich text that seeks to address some of the most difficult questions in music education. Its primary purpose of promoting intercultural understanding is deeply admirable, its superb organization and range of ideas make it a most compelling book . . . Although written for music educators in the United States, it will just as easily be of interest to readers from other countries with diverse communities." – Leonard Tan, Philosophy of Music Education Review"For me, dedicated to the historicity of disciplinarity, Goble’s study . . . of the intellectual history of music education in the United States . . . is exemplary."– William Pinar, Conversations on Curriculum & Pedagogy"Goble . . . provides a philosophical, historical, pragmatic study of the public school music curriculum as it relates to the new diverse student population. This resource gives readers a perspective on the development of past curricula and provides them with guidance going forward. . . . Recommended [for] graduate students, researchers, and professionals."– V. S. Xenakis, ChoiceTable of Contents1.
