Teaching Music in the Urban Classroom Set
Frierson-Campbell, Carol Ed.
Rowman & Littlefield Education
The change needed in urban music education not only relates to the idea that music should be at the center of the curriculum; rather, it is that culturally relevant music should be a creative force at the center of reform in urban education. This set is the start of a national-level conversation aimed at making that goal a reality. In both volumes, classroom music teachers, inner city arts administrators, well-known academics, and policy-makers from across United States and Canada join together to 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. The set includes: (1) Teaching Music in the Urban Classroom, Volume 1: A Guide to Survival, Success, and Reform; and (2) Teaching Music in the Urban Classroom, Volume 2: A Guide to Leadership, Teacher Education, and Reform. [Sold as a set or separately.]
