RHG417 You Can Teach Primary Music

You Can Teach Primary Music by Patrick Gazard.

This book will help any primary teacher deliver music in the classroom with confidence, however limited their previous experience.

It covers a wide range of issues including:

Preparing your classroom and lessons
Delivering the subject itself
Raising the profile of music in your school and the wider community

Performing, listening, composing, assessment, using ICT, putting on concerts and planning the curriculum are just a few of the topics included. While aimed at the practising, non-specialist classroom teacher, there is also advice for music subject leaders, the head teacher and ultimately all of the staff in a school.

This book is also ideal for secondary schools to improve the teaching of music in their feeder schools. The author is a former secondary head of music in a performing arts college with considerable experience of working with his local primary schools to ease the transition from Key Stage 2 to the Key Stage 3 music curriculum.
