Teaching Beyond the Music (Tools
for Addressing Societal Challenges
Through the Arts)—Jason Max Ferdinand.
Continuing the themes from the first volume
Teaching With Heart, this second volume in
the series exists to help teachers create
a healthy culture in their classroom. With
tools that will help teachers get to know their
students better and get students to think
more broadly about music and society, this
book is less about notes and rhythms and
more about connecting to each other and to
the idea of conveying emotion and feeling
through art. Developed with the help of ten
outstanding contributors, it encompasses
a variety of arts disciplines, including
band, orchestra, chorus, theater, musical
theater, dance, and visual art. Each module
addresses National Core Arts Standards
and social-emotional learning standards.
They contain activities that can be modified
to suit any grade level, thought-provoking
suggestions for community engagement,
and suggested choral and instrumental
repertoire that inspires empathy, unity,
and connection. The book also includes
more than 100 digital links for learning and
reference as well as Quick Direct Icons to
Read, Watch, Listen, Respond, Discuss,
Record, Perform, and Present.

Teaching Music to Students with
Differences and Disabilities (A Label-
Free Approach, Third Edition)—Alice
Hammel & Ryan Hourigan. Designed for
music education faculty, in-service music
administrators, in-service music teachers,
and preservice music teachers, this
comprehensive manual and reference guide
introduces best practices when teaching
music to students with differences and
disabilities. Topics include research-based
strategies for methods courses; practical
approaches for in-service music educators;
and professional development grounded in
research, special education law, and best
practices. Like previous editions, a core
focus of this book is that a student with
differences and disabilities is an individual
who deserves a music education that is
free of labels. Through this approach, music
educators will be able to gain and advocate
for support; understand their rights and
responsibilities; offer an effective music
education for students with and without
disabilities; and learn strategies for effective
collaboration with special educators,
teacher educators, and classroom teachers.
Curriculum development ideas, lesson plan
strategies, observation strategies, and
practical ideas are also included.

Teaching Music to Students with
Differences and Disabilities (A Practical
Resource, Second Edition)—Alice
M. Hammel & Roberta L. Yee. Bringing
together theory, policy, and planning
for instruction in K-12 classrooms, this
resource is a result of collaboration
between K-12 teachers, outstanding
undergraduate and graduate music
education students, and professionals in
the field. The lesson ideas, lesson plans,
and unit plans are organized according to
the six domains posited in the Third Edition
(an accompaniment to this book): cognition,
communication, behavior, emotions, and
physical and sensory needs. Classroom-
tested lesson plans include procedure
outlines and assessments as well as
guides for adaptation, accommodation,
and modification needed for successful
implementation in K-12 classrooms. As
such, this eminently useful guide provides
teachers with enough practical ideas to
allow them to begin to create and adapt
their own lesson plans for use with students
of differing needs and abilities.

Upbeat!
Mindset, Mindfulness, and Leadership
in Music Education and Beyond
Matthew Arau. Just as a
conductor's preparatory "upbeat"
gesture at the beginning of a
performance influences the way an
ensemble performs, we too get to
choose our "upbeat" - our thoughts
and attitudes - at the start of each
day, at the beginning of each class,
and in our interactions with students
and colleagues. With this clever
premise at its core, Upbeat! presents
a winning combination of mindset
and mindfulness strategies as well
as leadership principles that will
motivate, inspire, and transform
not only your internal world but the
culture of your music program.
With immediately applicable ideas and strategies that work for students,
teachers, and professionals in any field, it affirms the importance of living and
working with intentionality. The Upbeat! Daily Journal offers ten days of daily
quotes and thoughtful prompts for each of the 12 chapters, making this 120-
day resource usable on its own or as a companion to the book. The Upbeat!
Daily Planner includes over 200 pages of 120 days' worth of inspirational
quotes, mindful breathing techniques, questions for personal reflection, and
space for your daily schedule and to-do list. The journal and planner can be
purchased separately, as a bundle, or in a bundle with the book.
