Product reviews for The Little Book of Music for the Classroom

If there is one thing sure to engage students its music” this adventurous book will challenge you as a teacher. The ideas are massively intriguing, plentiful, and brave and, to be frank, they sound very exciting. The ideas span the subjects and the book lays out its methods simply, with suggested music lists, tips and advice on how to implement each idea. As Nina Jackson explains in her introduction, it takes a pluck of courage to introduce music in this manner, but the potential pay-off seems worth it. A nice touch is the appendices at the rear offering ideas on picking up free/cheap music and some top tips for compilation CDs and advice on copyright. Music engages, simple as that. Ms Jacksons book could bring a whole new aspect to your teaching.
