Teaching Instrumental Music Contemporary Perspectives and Pedagogies

"This book focuses on the process of learning to teach music to children using instruments. It brings the field of instrumental music into the contemporary world of school music by keeping all the important aspects of previous texts (i.e., a focus on pedagogical techniques of each instrument) while broadening beyond the instruments themselves to consider the foundational musicianship and types of learner-centered classroom interactions needed for all students to enjoy playing an instrument. The project's authors represent a variety of perspectives, embodying different racial, gender, and sexual identities usually underrepresented in the field of instrumental music education"–
