Everyday Wisdom for Inspired Teaching—Tim Lautzenheiser.
What are the secret ingredients of master teachers? If you were a
student in your class, what would you be learning? Would it be both
exciting and valuable? How do you create a disciplined classroom
environment without becoming a dictator? How can failure become
a pathway to success? What are the qualities of true leaders? Tim
Lautzenheiser explores the real-world questions, fears, and doubts all
outstanding educators have. In the process, he discovers a gold mine
of opportunities for teachers to assess their own effectiveness and
reach the highest levels possible. In four parts (The Art of Teaching;
Developing an Attitude for Success; Teacher Leadership Skills;
and Selection and Encouragement of Student Leaders), Tim calls
teachers and administrators to action. He writes, "It is easy to 'dream
the dream' and even exciting to sit down and 'draw up the plan,'
but doing it, actually taking action, seems to be where many halt...
Don't react: act."

Kodaly in the Classroom (Developing the Creative Brain in
the 21st Century)—Micheal Houlahan & Philip Tacka. Kodaly in
the Classroom provides teachers with a step-by-step road map for
developing children's performance, creative movement, and literacy
skills in an organic and thoughtful manner. Through six years of field-
testing with music kindergarten teachers in the United States, United
Kingdom, and Hungary (the home country of Zoltan Kodaly), authors
Micheal Houlahan and Philip Tacka have developed a methodology
specifically for 21st-century classrooms. Houlahan and Tacka use
the latest research findings in cognition and perception to create
a system not only appropriate for the developmental stages of first
through fifth grade students, but also one which integrates vertically
between elementary music classes. The methods outlined in these
volumes encourage greater musical ability and creativity in children
by teaching them to sing, move, play instruments, and develop
music literacy skills. In addition, they promote critical thinking,
problem solving, and collaboration skills. Although the books use the
Kodaly philosophy, its methodology has also been tested by teachers
certified in Orff and Dalcroze and has proven itself an essential guide
for teachers no matter what their personal philosophy and specific
training might be.

n Inside the Music Classroom
Teaching the Art with Heart
The music teacher constructs an environment where
all children are welcomed, they know what is
expected of them, they are encouraged to achieve,
and they know someone cares about their existence.
That's "the Heart." The teacher also creates a
learning climate of rigor, challenges and new
awareness. That's "the Art." Calling on more than
26 years of experience Patricia Bourne explores, in
accessible and sincere fashion, this pairing of the
practical and philosophical in K-6 general music. Go
inside the classroom to discover the who (students)
and what (curriculum and methodology) of music
education, along with concrete suggestions for how
to navigate the landscape once you're "in." The real-
world considerations of classroom management and
additional responsibilities, such as ensembles and
the performance expectations that come with them,
are addressed in detail, as is the subject of finding
and succeeding in "the" position. This is a very
practical and inspiring book.
