The Music of Teaching (Learning to Trust Students' Natural
Development)—Barbara Kreader Skalinder. The Music of Teaching
focuses on an ephemeral attribute all teachers need but few consider:
perception. This includes the ability to trust both students' natural
development and the learning process itself to guide developing
pianists down music's path. Using stories from her 46-year teaching
career plus research from the fields of education and psychology,
Barbara Kreader Skalinder explores the ways teaching has evolved
from the authoritative style of the 1950s to the collaborative design
better suited to the students in today's digital world. The author also
examines the ways independent teachers, free from the outside
constraints often imposed on public school educators, can point
the way toward educational methods that keep students' individual
learning styles and natural rate of progress as a primary focus and
guide them toward independent learning and success.
