Sharing Secrets

Everybody has "secrets" that work in the music classroom. In this text, two experienced master teachers share six secrets that enable children to successfully journey to two-part singing. The six steps along the way are called footprints. Each footprint begins with its CORE VALUES. The Activities to PROMOTE MUSICAL THINKING AND LEARNING are student directed and promote musical thinking through both physical and intellectual compomnents. The SECRETS are key to the core values; read from footprint to footprint, they carefully examine connections between old and new information. Guaranteed-to-succeed REPERTOIRE (often with permission to reproduce for your classroom) also features prominently in this practical resource. Some of the music is newly written; all is instructive, confidence-building, fun to sing, and easy to use.
