Book Description

ISBN-10: 0534528260 | ISBN-13: 978-0534528263 | Publication Date: June 4, 2003 | Edition: 6

The market-leading text for the Elementary School Music Methods course, INTEGRATING MUSIC IN THE ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM boasts an author team who helped set the national standards for teaching music in elementary schools. The first to emphasize the theme of integrating music throughout the school day, Anderson and Lawrence show future educators how to make music an effective part of the entire elementary curriculum. The text introduces the songs, instruments, sources of age-appropriate music, and methods of making music in a multicultural environment--making the text perfect for students with no prior knowledge of the fundamentals of music. With easy-to-use techniques for teaching young children how to sing, play instruments, move to music, create music, listen to music, and understand music, this text relates music to all subject areas. Notably, the authors provide sample lesson plans for kindergarten through grade six, along with more than 150 songs from different cultures and historical periods.

The book is just in fair condition. I believe that the price should have been cheaper than 89 dollars, because its only worth about 50 to 60 dollars.

I had no problems ordering this item. I will be using it a lot in my class and maybe even when I am a teacher. And I am very happy that they had the cd to go along with it!

The product came in a timely manner! I wish the description of the book would have been a little more detailed, thought the book would have been in a little better condition than it really was.Don't get me wrong the book is in OK condition. Overall though a really great experience! Would defiantly buy items from this seller again!
