Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

Book excerpt: Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children's identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children's natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I'm working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children's lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.

Book excerpt: "All people respond to music through listening. Since this music behavior is such a universal part of life, and the skills fostered through critical listening to music can transfer to many other areas, emphasizing listening in a given music curriculum is logical. Children learn actively through direct experience with given concepts. Because of this, it makes sense to approach listening instruction actively by using other music behaviors (singing, moving, chanting, creating) and aural, visual, and kinesthetic learning modes as a way to develop a deeper connection with musical material while fostering music skills and introducing or reinforcing music concepts. Listen Up! includes sample experiences that provide an opportunity for children to listen to musical selections while also fostering music skills and reinforcing given music concepts (rhythm, melody, form) that are prominent in those selections. In addition to providing an overview of the planning process for developing these types of lessons, and including sample experiences for 23 specific pieces, the collection also contains PowerPoint presentations to accompany each experience that provide material students can view and respond to as they listen." -- Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Evidence of Critical Thinking During Music Listening written by Colleen Marie Conway and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical thinking, a major goal of education, is an important factor in becoming an independent musician. This study explored dimensions of critical listening including: a) what do students think and audiate when they are listening, b) how do they respond to certain types of music, c) what decisions do they make while listening, and d) how does their level performance experience relate to their listening responses? A case study format was used to carefully observe the listening patterns of students. Three case members chosen from the private studio of the researcher heard a 3-5 minute musical example. The instructions to the student were to listen carefully to the example. After the first hearing students instructed that during the second hearing they were to stop the recording at any time to share what they heard. Upon the completion of the second hearing, students were interviewed about what they heard. Each listening session followed this procedure three times, once for each musical selection. Case members were video-taped while they were listening to capture any non-verbal communication that took place during listening and interviewing. The analysis of the data involved dividing the case evidence into several areas of interest for each piece. Several of the areas were identified before the study through the interview questions. Others were identified because all case members attended to those areas in some way. The results of this analysis presented several factors which seemed to affect the students' listening responses. Responses were apparently affected by each student's personality, verbalization ability, gender, physical reactions to music, aptitude, experience, and extramusical interests. These results provide guidelines for a model for exploring the listening patterns of high school students. They also provide the researcher and other high school teachers with qualitative information about the listening patterns of these students. Studio teachers will be able to use this information to better plan listening lessons.
