E-grāmata: Music Lesson Plans for Social Justice: A Contemporary Approach for Secondary School Teachers

Music Lesson Plans for Social Justice is a tantalizing glimpse of the possibilities when students learn music in a context that is immediately relevant to them. The instructional framework laid out here is ambitious, inspiring, and most importantly, fun. I found myself thinking, time and time again I can't wait to try that! * Richard Lawton, Orff Teacher Educator/Music Teacher, The Westland School, Los Angeles * Even at their first glance, secondary school music educators will immediately recognize the substantive contributions of this work for developing the social consciousness of their students through musical study and experience. This book will move teachers and students beyond general (Western) theory and history courses to musical encounters in gem-like curricular designs that address timely topics of societal turmoil and tension, and of peace, compassion and love. * Patricia Shehan Campbell, Donald E. Peterson Professor of Music, University of Washington * Music Lessons Plans for Social Justice provides ready-to-use resources suitable for any curriculum in any part of the world. I find this publication relevant to various topics including areas that focus on decolonization, socio-cultural significance of music, and learner engagement with music education for situations beyond the classroom. Indeed '...students learn more fully when they are engaged in music making that has contextual relevance to them'. This publication presents contexts that are socially relevant to today's learner. * Emily Achieng' Akuno, Professor of Music, The Technical University of Kenya, President of the International Society for Music Education - ISME (2020-2022) *
