Beiderwieden, Ralf Musik unterrichten Teaching Musik Music instruction tends to be downplayed in education today. A music teacher has one or at most two hours a week to manage a task that is anything but simple: conveying the basics of music to the pupils. This is the starting point of the present book, which gives today’s music teacher a systematic methodology to make the most of classroom instruction. Specific approaches are offered in the following areas: - Essentials - Lesson design - Organization - Music theory - Composing - Music education - Grading - Aids and obstacles Each approach carries a great deal of authority through its close ties with daily experience. Among other things, readers learn how to free music teaching from the brute memorization. The author points out how to achieve a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application in singing or listening to music. Besides the standard terminology of music education, he introduces new concepts and their meanings in a straightforward manner. The book is designed to function as a toolbox that will enable teachers to teach music appropriately and successfully.
