Description:

Musicianship-Focused Curriculum and Assessment is an in-depth guide to lesson and rehearsal planning that provides a concise method for aligning music instruction with state and national music standards while continuing to focus on active music making. Written for teachers in early childhood, P–12, higher education, and adult learning settings, this second edition includes new and updated chapters by a team of contributors with deep, practical experience in the music classroom at all educational levels.

Part I defines the field of curriculum and assessment in music. Part II combines ideas within the various approaches to music teaching— including Orff, Kodály, Dalcroze, Suzuki, and Music Learning Theory—in the areas of movement, rhythm, singing, creative music making, expression, literacy, and listening. Part III guides the reader through various approaches to designing curricula, including Understanding by Design, Universal Design for Learning, and the National Standards. Part IV addresses curriculum and assessment in early childhood, secondary students, popular musics, adult music learning, English Language Learners, learners with disabilities, preparation for adjudicated events, pre-service education, and in-service education. Finally, Part V looks to the future, addressing the role of technology and the challenges to musicianship-focused curriculum and assessment.

This resource is a complete guide that will help every music teacher hone and polish curriculum and assessment goals while increasing student involvement.
