Music every day: transforming the elementary classroom

The ideal textbook for elementary education students who want to make music a part of their future classrooms, this book confronts the issues of skill and confidence that deter many elementary classroom teachers from bringing music to their students. It offers a program to put prospective educators at ease with music and with music teaching. By explaining the benefits of elementary music education, and by offering a practical introduction to music fundamentals, the text provides prospective teachers with the encouragement and the confidence they need effectively to integrate music into their classrooms. 14 studies, accompanied by follow-up discussion questions, allow students to think reflectively in the role of teacher.*18 teaching scripts show students how experienced teachers ask questions and deal with students responses in the classroom.*At the end of each chapter, readings provide material to use to prepare for class, for in-class activities, and for further practice.*
