New! Kodaly in the Classroom
Developing the Creative Brain
in the 21st Century
Micheal Houlahan & Philip Tacka.
Kodaly in the Classroom provides teachers with
a step-by-step road map for developing children's
performance, creative movement, and literacy skills
in an organic and thoughtful manner. Houlahan and
Tacka use the latest research findings in cognition and
perception to create a system not only appropriate for
the developmental stages of first through fifth grade
students, but also one which integrates vertically
between elementary music classes. The methods
outlined in these volumes 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.

Conversational Solfege
Revised Edition
John Feierabend.
With the Conversational Solfege approach, music
literacy starts with great literature and an "ear-before-
eye" philosophy that correlates with the National
Standards. Great songs are broken down into their
component parts and then reassembled so that students
can bring greater musical understanding to everything
they do. The teacher's and student's components have
been completely redesigned to make using this program
even more engaging. Also new to this edition is an
extensive assessment section, making it easy to track the
progress of every student.
