For high school music teachers, this guide provides 58 strategies for teaching general music classes, following the K-12 National Music Education Standards and published in partnership with the
MENC: The National Association for Music Education. The authors do not suggest course offerings or curriculum content but provide examples of activities to develop skills within the framework
that learning about music is most effective in active ways and through aural experience. Strategies include step-by-step instructions outlining objectives, materials, prior knowledge and
experience needed, procedures, indicators of success, and follow-up for expanding learning. Strategies are organized around the nine National Music Education Standards relating to singing,
performing on instruments, improvising, composing and arranging music, reading and notation, listening and analysis, evaluating music and performances, understanding relationships between the
arts and other disciplines, and music in relation to history and culture. There is no index. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
