Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This text does an excellent job of presenting facts about each approach in a comparative way--it is organized to build students' knowledge by highlighting contrasts and similarities of many approaches at once. I find this to be the text's 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."
"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 refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Very Good, Must Read for any elementary Music Teacher,
By A Customer
This review is from: Music in Childhood: From Preschool through the Elementary Grades (with CD) (Spiral-bound)
This book is excellent, very comprehensive. It was used as the textbook for my teaching elementary music class. I will keep it in my library forever, lots of valuable information for the early music education of young students.

Practical and Comprehensive,
By Lucie Peek "LJP" (SBI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Music in Childhood: From Preschool through the Elementary Grades (with Audio CD) (Spiral-bound)
Music In Childhood was the textbook for two classes I took during my undergrad - Methods for Early Childhood Music and Methods for Middle Childhood Music. Both were really important segments of my music ed. degree. Even though I will never be more than a private piano instructor, I found this textbook to be packed with vital help about children and their ability to learn music - bottom line. I don't ever plan on teaching school and I am quite happy with my piano studio, but there are some things that are universal in teaching music and this text seems to highlight each and every one of them. I didn't hang on to any of my conducting books or vocal methods books, but this one I kept. I have used it many times as a reference and I know I'll use it in the future. This is almost essential to any music teacher out there, whether you're in the schools or simply have a private studio like I do.

Dishonest,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Music in Childhood: From Preschool through the Elementary Grades (with Audio CD) (Spiral-bound)
The description says Music in Childhood: From Preschool through the elementary grades (with Audio CD) and there is definitely NO AUDIO CD. This is very dishonest and I will not be purchasing from this seller ever again.
