"Great Ideas, but uses "research" language" according to Veronica. I love some of the ideas and real-life stories in this book, especially the ones regarding teaching ESL students in a urban school. However, I would have preferred a book that was geared more towards regular teachers who just need the ideas. This explains the data that the author collected, philosophies behind the suggestions, and other, "deeper," aspects that I don't really need. It's very well-written, but I mostly skim until I get to the more "how-to" sections.. Music Teachers, this is must Finally a book just for music teachers who want to learn new new techniques for use in the classroom. Frierson-Campbell and the individual teachers contributing to this two-volumn collection present novel ways of teaching music students. A must!. Urban guide Frankie Ashley This book is an absolute MUST for any teacher who is teaching, or is planning to teach in an urban setting. I found much of the content very practical and useful.
These authors, whose voices are distinct and yet united, guide music educators at every level, motivating them to challenge tired assumptions, reconsider the issues, and transform their classrooms and their students. Culturally relevant music can drive reform in urban education. This first of two volumes addresses cultural responsivity, teaching strategies, and alternative teaching models. Teaching Music in the Urban Classroom, Volume 1: A Guide to Survival, Success, and Reform opens a national-level conversation aimed at making that goal a reality. Contributors, who include classroom music teachers, inner city arts administrators, well-known academics, and policy-makers from across the United States and Canada, offer a full range of political, philosophical, and practical approaches to reaching kids in urban schools.
