4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. I highly recommend this title to anyone with an interest in examining ...By CustomerThis book contains 18 differently-authored sections on teaching general music; each written by leaders within their specific philosophical perspective. Rather than arguing the superiority of any particular method/philosophical framework; the chapters present detailed explanations and pose challenging questions to the readers. The philosophical perspectives of Orff/Kodaly/Gordon/Dalcroze are presented as equals to those that have received less "air time" or are newly emerging in the field. I highly recommend this title to anyone with an interest in examining the question "what is general music?" - especially pre-service elementary music teachers. "Teaching General Music" is also a great resource for those undertaking academic research in the field. As an experienced music teacher serving in a mentor capacity; I find myself constantly referencing or recommending this title. Definitely worth a read.
