Reviews

As an educator and teacher of future educators, I am forever looking for new, more relevant materials to bolster our teaching methods courses. In that regard, I find the revised edition of The Music Literacy Connection to be a useful resource with a number of different potential applications. For example, it offers a fresh look at such necessary topics as writing and assessing meaningful learning outcomes, constructing lesson plans for a broad range of teaching/learning environments, and using various new technologies, to name only a few. It also provides some important insights into rapidly changing national trends in educational policy with special attention to several relevant Common Core Standards. The detailed, practical, and up-to-date content of this book; consistently communicated in a straightforward no-nonsense way; makes it a useful tool in our arsenal of materials to prepare pre-service Pre-K-12 teachers in both music classroom and general classroom settings. -- Marvin E. Latimer, Ph.D., associate professor of choral music education, music education department head, The University of Alabama The Music and Literacy Connection remains a core text about the importance of making music literacy and holistic literacy connections in public school settings. It is a rich resource for creating or revising K-12 music curriculum based on the National Core Arts Standards and the Common Core State Standards. Simsbury Public School teachers have worked with the text as a guide during professional development sessions about the importance of music and literacy connections. Our teachers have become experts at making those connections come to life in their classrooms. The Music and Literacy Connection is the most comprehensive professional development that a classroom teacher or building administrator could receive about the impact of music education in the general classroom. It should be a required text for all students completing degrees in music education. The Music and Literacy Connection is a must read for all music educators! -- Angela D. Griffin, K-12 director of music and performing arts, Simsbury Public Schools, Simsbury, CT The Music and Literacy Connection is a valuable resource for all music educators, though particularly for those called upon to address The Common Core State Standards in English Literacy. Included in this text is research to support the relationship between music and literacy, as well as practical ideas for the classroom teacher. This text skillfully attends to the skills and knowledge students must have related to reading, without neglecting the importance of music learning. -- Alice-Ann Darrow, Irvin Cooper Professor of Music Therapy and Music Education, came to The Florida State University in 2003 from The University of Kansas
