Angebote / Angebote:

This Third Edition text builds on many years of success in preparing teachers to include music successfully in their classroom curricula. Students are given a background in music fundamentals while building skills that are prerequisite to effective teaching in K-6 classrooms. College students gain hands-on experiences in singing a large repertoire of children's songs from American and world sources, playing classroom instruments, moving to music, listening, reading, music notation, and improvising and creating music- all the activities they will be teaching to children. Lesson outlines prepare future teachers for practice in peer teaching or field experiences. Concepts in the lessons are built on the National Standards for Music Education and are drawn from an eclectic mix of materials and methods.Features RetainedA review of music fundamentals Kodaly, Orff, Dalcroze integration in lessons Accompaniments for tone bars, Autoharp, Orff instruments, guitar/ukulele, piano, and rhythm instruments Chord charts for many songs Body percussion accompaniments Sequenced lessons to teach to peers in preparation for K-6 classrooms Easy-to-teach dances coordinated with many songs Technology in the classroom Learning theory applied to music Benefits of music study for children Music literacy as an outgrowth of music-making and creating music Projects for future teachers to complete Classified song index Forms for software evaluation and lesson planning New in the Third EditionLet's Practice!-45 sequenced lessons for future teachers to take directly to their classroom work CD of many songs and listening selections Curriculum focuses on the National Standards for Music Education A section on teaching improvisation and creating music A section on singing games and movement A separate section on listening for K-6 Updated information on technology in the classroom, including uses for electronic keyboards and intelligent software Many new songs chosen by college students and teachers' surveys More attention to K-2 level.
