Recycle Your Literature—Diane M. Lange. Music
educators have long understood that musical skills and
concepts are best taught through quality literature. This
resource shows general music teachers how they can truly
get the most out of the songs they teach by bringing them
back year after year to buttress and reinforce learning by
combining the learn-by-doing approach of Orff Schulwerk
with the sequencing of music skills in Music Learning
Theory. This book focuses specifically on how repurposing
literature throughout a child's elementary education serves
and enhances both methods. Divided into two sections, the
first contains a brief explanation of Music Learning Theory,
Orff Schulwerk, and the conceptual lesson plan; the second
section containing sample lesson plans that showcase how
the same song can serve different musical goals every year
in grades K-5. Each lesson plan is complete with information
about concepts, skills, objectives, equipment, the teaching
process, and assessment.

Teaching Body Mapping to Children—Jennifer Johnson.
Does your student have unexplained arm pain when playing
violin? Does a beginner in your band complain of a sore neck
and shortness of breath when playing clarinet? Or does your
piano student complain of sore wrists? Expanding on the
concepts of Body Mapping developed by Barbara Conable
in her flagship book, What Every Musician Needs to Know
about the Body, licensed Andover Educator Jennifer Johnson
presents anatomical facts, movement activities, and tools
for preventing injury in our young music students. Teaching
Body Mapping to Children is an essential guide for teachers
to recognize potential movement and posture problems and
to help their students find free, healthy, and efficient ways to
make music. Clear definitions and useful drawings illustrate
the structure of the body and healthy movement patterns.
Imaginative games and activities for both individual and
group instruction teach musically appropriate movement and
self-awareness. Suggestions for using anatomically accurate
teaching language are provided. Also addressed are the
challenges that daily activities (such as texting, writing, and
using a computer) present to the well-being of our students. A
comprehensive list of resources adds to the value of the book.
