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.
