l Common Core (Re-Imagining the Music
Rehearsal and Classroom)Paul Kimpton &
Ann Kimpton. Teaching in the 21st century can be
a daunting yet exhilarating experience. It is daunting
because a plethora of initiatives have been hurled
at educators from every direction. Current and
future music educators must continually adapt
their teaching philosophies, strategies, rehearsals,
music selection processes, assessment practices,
and grading procedures to justify one of the most
important subjects a student can study, and that
is music. Common Core: Re-Imagining the Music
Rehearsal and Classroom, complete with workbook
exercises and reflective questions, is about
transforming a written document, The Common
Core State Standards, into practical applications
in the music classroom. Authors Paul and Ann
Kimpton outline how to use the Common Core State
Standards to help students develop a higher level
of understanding of musical skills and content, and
to help students engage with music more deeply
and with more meaning. Intended for kindergarden
through college music educators, administrators,
and pre-service educators, this book is an excellent
resource that can have a profound impact on the
music classroom.

l Conducting Technique Etudes (Laban-Based
Etudes for Class or Individual Practice)
James Jordan. In this volume of etudes for
conductors, James Jordan details a ground-
breaking pedagogy for the development of
conducting skills. This method is based on a
sequential harmonic process to inform and define
conducting gesture. This book is revolutionary
because it employs a process of score study
to develop what Dr. Jordan calls "kinesthetic/
harmonic audiation." Conductors of all skill levels
will profoundly benefit from these new ideas. While
instrumentalists and keyboardists for decades have
had books of daily "etudes" for the development of
technique, conducting pedagogy has not had the
benefit of such a rigorous technical course of study.
