Giving Voice to Children's Artistry

"Approaching music teaching and learning through the portal of artistry is a desperately needed approach in teaching children. In this book, artistic spirit and the psychology of music learning become true partners. A landmark publication." -- James Jordan, Professor, Westminster Choir College; Co-Director: The Choral Institute at Oxford "This uniquely refreshing book offers meaningful perspectives into not just music teaching but something much more significantDLcultivating children's artistry. Mary Ellen Pinzino's thoughtful insights and approaches, particularly to repertoire and teaching strategies, are certainly a major contribution to our profession!" -- Joanne Rutkowski, Professor Emeritus of Music Education, Pennsylvania State University "Perhaps the most salient aspect of this beautifully written book is the unwavering respect Mary Ellen Pinzino shows for the musical artistry of every child. The joy and wonder of music learning resonates on every page." -- Roseanne Rosenthal, President, VanderCook College of Music "Highly recommended! Sequential teaching and learning suggestions included. Compatible with Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze, and Gordon. Challenges current and future music educators, choral conductors and children to greater musicality through unusual rhythms, thoughtful texts, and lovely melodies!" -- Patricia Wurst Cichy, Assistant Professor of Music Education (retired), Providence College
