l The Transposed Musician—Dylan Savage.
Music teachers know their students don't just learn
to play music; they are also exposed to universal
life skills along the way. But that's just part of the
story. Currently, most students are largely left to
learn these universal skills - like problem solving,
patience, focus, collaboration, critical thinking,
creativity, and communication - on their own and
often not very effectively. This text is a practical
guide to teaching these universal skills within the
context of a traditional music lesson, music class,
or ensemble performance. The results not only
empower students to better confront the challenges
of the 21st century, they significantly improve
musicianship. With practical examples and clear
writing, this book is for music educators wishing
to help their students become not only better
musicians but better-equipped citizens of the world.
