Teach Like It's Music

Book

This book covers 26 ways that schools can better serve the imaginative, intellectual and humanitarian promise of our children. From Art to the Zen of Education, author and internationally acclaimed music teacher Doug Goodkin takes us on an alphabetical tour through the attributes that could revive all schools as we know them. Goodkin reminds us that a school's worth lies not in its test scores or sports records, but in the health of its community and its ability to keep the unbridled curiosity of six-year-olds burning throughout their entire school experience. The essays range from practical advice, to biting satire, to tender reflections. Teachers, parents, administrators and students alike will find ample food for thought in this provocative look at what teachers can do to teach more artistically and with more attention to the students themselves.
