About this title

Review:

"MUSIC IN CHILDHOOD is the most comprehensive publication I have seen for Music Education students. The inclusion of philosophical, pedagogical, and practical information makes it a valuable resource." "This text does an excellent job of presenting facts about each approach in a comparative wayait is organized to build studentsa knowledge by highlighting contrasts and similarities of many approaches at once. I find this to be the textas biggest strength. It does not favor one approach over another, but it creates an image of elementary music education in a global sense where many teaching approaches exist and are often intertwined. Compatible and incompatible philosophies and teaching tools are identified. This provides a sense of perspective that students and beginning teachers must have if they are to find their own most effective teaching manner and potentially specialize in one or more approach."
