Culturally relevant music can drive reform in urban education. Teaching Music in the Urban Classroom, Volume 1: A Guide to Survival, Success, and Reform opens a national-level conversation aimed at making that goal a reality. This first of two volumes addresses cultural responsivity, teaching strategies, and alternative teaching models. Contributors, who include classroom music teachers, inner city arts administrators, well-known academics, and policy-makers from across the United States and Canada, offer a full range of political, philosophical, and practical approaches to reaching kids in urban schools. These authors, whose voices are distinct and yet united, guide music educators at every level, motivating them to challenge tired assumptions, reconsider the issues, and transform their classrooms and their students.

Industry Reviews

This volume gathers the writing of professors, seasoned urban teachers, researchers, young teachers, and graduate students, and these diverse voices, though distinct, are united in their call for urban school reform and music curriculum reform. Keeping the focus on offering music experience to needy students, the editor presents the material under four large headings: cultural responsibility, music teacher stories, teaching strategies, and alternative teaching models. This carefully constructed volume is unique... Recommended. * CHOICE *
Contributors discuss motivation, choral rehearsals, building an instrumental music program, string chorales, the impact of music education, challenges in teaching, English-language learners, using the music of all cultures, and white teachers working with students of color. * Reference and Research Book News *
