Oxford University Press Understanding French Verse
Book SynopsisAdvice to young singers often follows the standard line of the great French singer Claire Croiza: Study the poem away from the music, so that you know what the words really mean. But Croiza''s advice is notoriously difficult to follow when performing French mélodies. Just how do you approach a French poem? In the lyric poetry on which the mélodie is based, meaning is conveyed not just through the words but also through the poem''s formal structure. Understanding French Verse: A Guide for Singers explains this formal structure and sets out the basics of French versification, using examples drawn from a wide range of well-known song settings. Its chapters examine French meters, stanzaic forms, sonnets, rondels and other fixed forms, rhyme and sound patterning, and free verse poems. Written in a clear and concise way, it explains the Alexandrine, how to distinguish different meters by counting syllables, and how to identify stresses in French verse. The book also illustrates how rhyme woTrade Review...very useful... * Dorothee Mertz-Weigel, French Review, vol. 80.1 *Table of Contents1: Why This Guide? 2: The Basics of the French Line 3: Common French Meters 4: Stanzas 5: Sonnets, rondels, and other fixed forms 6: Rhyme 7: Free verse Appendix 1.

Oxford University Press Kodaly in the Kindergarten Classroom
Book SynopsisSince the mid-twentieth century, Zoltan Kodaly''s child-developmental philosophy for teaching music has had significant positive impact on music education around the world, and is now at the core of music teaching in the United States and other English speaking countries. Kodaly in the Kindergarten Classroom is the first comprehensive handbook to update and apply the Kodaly concepts to teaching music in early childhood classrooms. Kodaly in the Kindergarten Classroom provides teachers with a step-by-step road map for developing children''s performance, creative movement, and literacy skills in an organic and thoughtful manner. Through six years of field-testing with music kindergarten teachers in the United States, Great Britain, and Hungary (the home country of Zoltan Kodaly), authors Micheal Houlahan and Philip Tacka have developed a methodology specifically for 21st century classrooms. Houlahan and Tacka use the latest research findings in cognition and perception to create a system not only appropriate for kindergarteners'' particular developmental stages but also one which integrates vertically between kindergarten and elementary music classes. The methods outlined in this volume encourage greater musical ability and creativity in children by teaching kindergarteners to sing, move, play instruments, and develop music literacy skills. In addition, Kodaly in the Kindergarten Classroom promotes critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills. Although the book uses the Kodaly philosophy, its methodology has also been tested by teachers certified in Orff and Dalcroze, and has proven an essential guide for teachers no matter what their personal philosophy and specific training might be.Over 100 children''s books are incorporated into Kodaly in the Kindergarten Classroom, as well as 35 detailed lesson plans that demonstrate how music and literacy curriculum goals are transformed into tangible musical objectives. Scholarly yet practical and accessible, this volume is sure to be an essential guide for kindergarten and early childhood music teachers everywhere.Table of ContentsIntroduction ; Chapter One ; Developing a Music Repertoire of Songs and Books for the Kindergarten Music Classroom ; Chapter Two ; Building the Framework of a Kindergarten Music Curriculum ; Chapter Three ; Developing Creative Expression Through Singing, Movement, and Playing Instruments ; Chapter Four ; A Model of Learning and Instruction for Teaching Music Concepts and Skills ; Chapter Five ; Teaching Music Concepts in Kindergarten ; Chapter Six ; Cultivating Music Skills and Creativity ; Chapter Seven ; Sequencing and Lesson Planning ; Chapter Eight ; Assessment and Evaluation in Kindergarten ; Chapter Nine ; Organizing Your Teaching Resources for the Kindergarten Classroom ; Appendix 1: Songs and Related Children's Literature for the Early Childhood and Kindergarten Classroom ; Appendix 2: Alphabetized List of Children's Literature ; Appendix 3: Children's Literature Related to Music Concepts for the Early Childhood and Kindergarten Classroom ; Appendix 4: Monthly Plans

Oxford University Press Inc Practical Music Education Technology Essential
Book SynopsisToday''s music teachers are caught in a conundrum about technology - while all are interested in it and told to utilize it in music instruction, a lack of equipment and funding act as enormous barriers to technology access. In fact, studies indicate that the mere perception of these obstacles may be partly responsible for the gap between these teachers'' interest in technology and the lack of technology integration in the classroom. As a result, students potentially miss out on active, hands-on music technology instruction at school.In Practical Music Education Technology, veteran music educators Rick Dammers and Marjorie LoPresti help music teachers introduce technology into the classroom by providing accessible strategies to support and enrich students'' musical learning. The authors highlight a plethora of free online tools at teachers'' disposal, and provide options that can be flexible for all school environments and types of teachers - from those with large budgets to those operating on a shoestring, from those well-versed in technology to non-experts. Each chapter outlines pedagogically appropriate resources and strategies that facilitate, support, and enhance music learning, performance, and creation. Additionally, model lesson plans featuring classroom-tested uses of technology aim to empower student engagement while also keeping music learning goals at the forefront. All teaching ideas presented can be tailored to individual teachers'' needs and preferences, making Practical Music Education Technology an essential guide to music technology for the everyday music teacher.Trade ReviewIn this well-organized and definitive guide, Dammers and LoPresti have left no stone unturned in their examination of music and education technology tools and ways they can be used in K-12 music classrooms to effectively support teaching and learning.This resource is valuable for both the pre-service and in-service teacher seeking to broaden their understanding of music technology integration and offers solid guidance on how to choose the best technology to meet pedagogical needs and outcomes. I highly recommend this for all K-12 music educators! * Stefani Langol, Berklee College of Music *Practical Music Education Technology is just that, an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of solution options and applications for use of technology in any music education setting. This resource is extremely valuable for music education practitioners regardless of their prior knowledge and abilities. It is also an essential guide to help meet the needs of technology requirements in music teacher preparation programs. * Keith Dye, Texas Tech University School of Music *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements About the Companion Website Introduction 1.

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.

Faber & Faber Why Beethoven Threw the Stew And Lots More
Book SynopsisIn Why Beethoven Threw the Stew, renowned cellist Steven Isserlis sets out to pass on to children a wonderful gift given to him by his own cello teacher - the chance to people his own world with the great composers by getting to know them as friends. Witty and informative at the same time, Isserlis introduces us to six of his favourite composers: the sublime genius Bach, the quicksilver Mozart, Beethoven with his gruff humour, the shy Schumann, the prickly Brahms and that extraordinary split personality, Stravinsky. Isserlis brings the composers alive in an irresistible manner that can''t fail to catch the attention of any child whose ear has been caught by any of the music described, or anyone entering the world of classical music for the first time. The lively black and white line illustrations provide a perfect accompaniment to the text, and make this book attractive and accessible for children to enjoy on their own or share with an adult.
