Aligning Music to STEM

This book is a roadmap for today's music educators who are tasked with promoting and fulfilling a rich arts curriculum while still understanding the realities of current and future job markets and incorporating the skill sets they require. This work challenges teachers and administrators to rethink the structure of traditional music education and encourages universities to reimagine how they train music educators. It motivates schools and universities to explore their curriculum designs and examine how ideas and lesson plans are being differentiated to promote the integration of STEM in the music classroom. This text outlines ways that we can carefully redesign curricula and explore new approaches that aim to provide students with new opportunities to solve problems, create, collaborate, and experience the world.
