Weaving It All Together

In this book, the author draws from her two decades of experience with Music Learning Theory (MLT) to present practical activities, ideas, and strategies to help elementary general music teachers thoughtfully and purposefully weave together the many instructional threads of MLT. Part I presents the core concepts, Part II dedicates a chapter to each of the eight levels in the sequence, with suggestions for learning activities and teaching strategies, and Part III takes a broad view of how students' skill development can be guided throughout the elementary years. Great for veteran and novice teachers alike, this bridges the gap between Gordon's theoretical ideas and their practical implementation in the general music classroom.
