Opis

Public schools in America are now incorporating musics from the world in their school music curriculum. Although there has been some acceptance, lack of resources and incompetency among music educators is still a great concern. Other problems identified include inadequate training of preservice teachers, language inefficiency, and teacher attitude toward world musics. The work examines the practical application of multicultural music in an elementary general music class.
