n Common Core: Re-Imagining the Music
Rehearsal and Classroom (Standards,
Curriculum, Assessment, Instruction)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.

n Conducting Technique Etudes (Laban-Based
Etudes for Class or Individual Practice)
James Jordan. In this volume of etudes for
conductors, James Jordan details a groundbreaking
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.
