Description

Fresh perspective on topics that cut across all interactions with K-5th grade music learners.

This 2nd edition provides new directions for pedagogy and evidenced-based practice in elementary general music that resonate with today's students and how they engage with music. It includes several new chapters that address:

- curriculum and assessment
- technology and vernacular musicianship
- inclusive vocal development and choral singing
- culturally informed practices and pedagogy
- supporting students with disability and ability differences
- future landscape of elementary general music

Concise and essential, this edited volume supports music teachers as they navigate a new landscape of education and develop intercultural competence through culturally sensitive practices. Understanding the past, current, and forecasted landscape of K-5 elementary education, traditional and emerging models and structures of music education are highlighted. With a multifaceted, holistic view of current pedagogies and practice, chapters facilitate students' active musicking with many forms of musical expression readily accessible for the classroom. The content is carefully curated to support, nurture, facilitate, and advance children's artistic literacy and lifelong engagement with music.

This 2nd edition is a valuable resource for college methods courses and instructors, preservice music teachers, and practitioners.
