Opis

This Too is Music inspires teachers to foster playful settings where young students can thrive as improvisers, critical listeners, performers, and composers. Told through anecdotes and illustrated with examples, the book quells any doubts teachers may have regarding their abilities to create an environment where children can grow as musicians.

Recenzje

I read This Too Is Music back in 2003, and I immediately felt like I knew Rena. It was amongst my top five favourite books that I read while studying for my Masters in Music Education at Reading University. And I still quote the story about the little boy whom Rena "allowed" into her school choir-and who, by being permitted to be there, found his singing voice. Brilliant!
