Riassunto

"Debra Gordon Redden provides teachers with the theoretical and practical tools needed to prepare music lessons and curricula aimed toward holistic learning. This thorough compendium is a necessary resource."-Jere T. Humphreys, professor of music, School of Music, Arizona State University

"The nation of threading as presented by Dr. Hedden in this book is a wonderful philosophical approach for general music teaching. In particular, it emphasizes what successful teachers know intuitivelyùthat children need to experience concepts in a variety of ways and will learn by doing. This book wilt be a helpful resource or textbook for students preparing for practicum or student teaching experiences in the K-6 setting."-Jane Cassidy, PhD, Roy and Morgaret Gianelloni Professor of Music, Louisiana State University

This book provides both preservice and seasoned music educators with a unique and powerful way of teaching. It offers a pedagogical approach that emphasizes sensory-oriented conceptual learning. From the musical concepts we teachùmelody, harmony, rhythm, and formùthe teacher targets one concept per lesson (for instance, melody), and provides learning experiences in singing, listening, performing, moving, reading, writing, improvising, and composing that are all focused on only that concept. Essentially, the learners are visually, aurally, and kinesthetically bombarded, gaining a firm grasp of the concept because they have heard, sung, moved, performed, written, and created in that class, all in small time segments. The teacher has a greater ability to reach all students' learning needs and engage them in active learning in each class. The book not only offers background information about the learning process, but also specific lesson templates that serve as conceptual models for music classes.
