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.

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.

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.

An Easy to read and follow instructions for prospects in Music, Elementary Music Teachers, College students and more. Very easy music notes to follow

This is a good book for studying at school. It is helpful and insightful. You can even read it if you're not at school it's still a great tool for you to dive into, if you're into that kind of thing.

Lots of information on different areas of music education for children, a good resource.
