Reader Reviews
This review is from: Music in Childhood: From Preschool through the Elementary Grades (with Audio CD) (Spiral-bound) Music In Childhood was the textbook for two classes I took during my undergrad - Methods for Early Childhood Music and Methods for Middle Childhood Music. Both were really important segments of my music ed. degree. Even though I will never be more than a private piano instructor, I found this textbook to be packed with vital help about children and their ability to learn music - bottom line. I don't ever plan on teaching school and I am quite happy with my piano studio, but there are some things that are universal in teaching music and this text seems to highlight each and every one of them. I didn't hang on to any of my conducting books or vocal methods books, but this one I kept. I have used it many times as a reference and I know I'll use it in the future. This is almost essential to any music teacher out there, whether you're in the schools or simply have a private studio like I do. Comment | | (Report this)
