Book Description
Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children's identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children's natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I'm working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children's lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.

Book Description
The purpose of this book is to provide music teachers with a means to develop their lesson planning skills. It is to give the teacher the guidelines and structure that can work as the foundation for flowing, musical lessons. Although by necessity some sample lessons and materials are included here, it is not the author?s intent to give the reader ready-made lesson plans, nor to stifle the reader?s creativity. It is merely to give the teacher a structure, a foundation for creative lesson planning. Structure should not be equated to rigidity. The structure is merely a framework, a foundation allowing for individual creativity and differences. My house may have the same floor plan as my neighbor?s, but it is entirely different, from furnishings to color schemes. For this very important reason, this book contains no formulas which are intended to be taken literally, nor does it contain a series of lesson plans intended for literal application. What is offered is a step-by-step approach for designing one?s own lesson plans. It is hoped that these steps will aid the Kodály specialist as well as the general music education teacher to plan more effectively, more efficiently, and with greater foresight.

Book Description
Teachers in school music ensembles (band, choir, orchestra) plan instruction that will lead to student learning—learning most often focused on technical skill development. The value of teaching students beyond technical proficiencies toward a broader body of knowledge and understanding is supported by the literature. A model exists that is designed to lead to a broader experience in school music ensembles, involving a multiplicity of music learnings, technical proficiency, cognition, and personal meaning constructed by the student. The Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance (CMP) Model is a framework for planning instruction in school ensembles that promotes a holistic form of music learning . A detailed description of the CMP Model provides the foundation for a discussion of planning and implementation, as the model is enacted in the ensemble setting. The discrete planning points of the CMP Model are considered in relation to a broader context. Interviews are included as a contextual narrative piece to humanize the material throughout the book. By combining the theoretical foundations of CMP and its practical applications for the teacher, this book will be useful for scholars and persons involved in teacher education as well as practicing teacher-conductors.

Book Description
What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
