Advocate for Music!—Lynn M. Brinckmeyer.
This draws on a lifetime of arts advocacy to
provide answers to the questions so many
teachers have but are afraid (or simply too
busy) to ask. This is a simple, hands-on
guidebook for becoming an effective advocate
for the arts. It is structured around six key
questions: What is advocacy? Why focus on
it? Who should do it? How does one do it?
Where should we advocate? And when should
we advocate?

How Children Learn When They Learn
Music—Edwin E. Gordon. Written as a
precursor to Learning Sequences in Music, this
volume is the first to advocate that teachers
understand how children learn music as a
prerequisite for determining the best method
for teaching them. This book discusses how
children learn as they develop music literacy
and provides a critical examination of the
practice and interpretation of music notation.
With sections devoted to rhythm, melody,
and harmony, this introduces teaching toward
individual musical differences between students,
adapting instruction, and the importance of
understanding student differences.

Kodály in the Classroom—Micheal Houlahan
& Philip Tacka. This provides teachers with
a step-by-step road map for developing
children's performance, movement, and
literacy skills in an organic and thoughtful
manner. This creates a system appropriate
for the developmental stages of first through
fifth grade students, and also integrates
vertically between elementary music classes.
The methods 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 Kodály 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 teaching philosophy.
