Planning Curriculum in Music
2009, $30
Creativity and critical thinking, problem solving, collaborating, and
communicating are abilities and skills of the mind essential for success
in the 21st century. Since these skills are most readily developed
in music and other arts, substantive learning in these areas is
vital for all students. Planning Curriculum in Music was designed
to help music educators develop and instruct music curricula and
assess student learning.
This guide will help music educators develop a standards-based
curriculum, improve instructional practice, and use assessment
embedded in the learning process as an instrument of learning.
Also included in this new publication are the Wisconsins Comprehensive
Musicianship through Performance model, the
instructional/assessment strategies of Arts PROPEL, recent research
both of the brain and of classroom practice, and the application of technology
in the music classroom and rehearsal.
