Review:

"A multicultural perspective is threaded throughout the text, not just is a chapter or section. Because the photographs, suggested repertoire, classroom activities and personal method approach are sonsistantly infused with multicultural and authentic American folk music as well as diverse people, the message is clear!"

"Of all the texts that I have looked at, this has the most information concerning instructional strategies and the child's musical development."
