Review
"The content is fairly comprehensive and should be of interest to a range of audiences, including parents. . .the reader is invited to critically examine the authors' stance. 'No theory should be taken on trust. All should challenged and that includes thos presented in this book.' This is a healthy position to adopt. . .the discussion on 'musical literacy' and sections on planning and assessing, reflect a curriculum-based approach, adapted to fit young children's development." "Music Education Research."

From the Back Cover
Research findings repeatedly show that music is one of the subjects which teachers feel least confident to tackle. There are many reasons for this, one being the lack of appropriate guidance and training. This book is designed to help overcome such problems by providing class teachers with clear advice on how to plan, resource and deliver a comprehensive programme which will challenge their pupils and enable them to progress and meet national requirements. The book includes examples and activities which can be used as a basis for in-service training within schools, particularly for teachers who regard themselves as non-specialists.
