MoreLong description:
Music connects the lives of students, teachers, and school communities in many ways. Music is also integrally related to other art forms, history, culture, and other subjects commonly taught in schools. These relationships deserve critical attention, particularly as educators seek to reorient their curricula and pedagogy toward the pressing aims of social justice.
Seeking Connections encourages interdisciplinarity as a capacity to be exercised-an orientation or habit of mind that teachers and students can develop. This capacity depends upon viewing music as permeable, recognizing that music influences related ways of knowing, just as related ways of knowing influence music. This book invites teachers to create educational experiences that engage students in exploring an expansive relationship with music. With imaginative examples drawn from diverse musical genres, visual art, poetry, and historical cases, Seeking Connections provides thoughtful principles, models, and instructional strategies to deepen students' understandings of musical works and inspire interdisciplinary inquiry throughout elementary and secondary music programs, as well as settings in music teacher education and professional development.
Building upon decades of work on interdisciplinarity in the music curriculum, Janet Revell Barrett invites music educators to consider ways music learning can be more interconnected to other disciplines, contemporary society, and studentsâ lives. She masterfully accomplishes this through compelling arguments, unique cases from the field, detailed pedagogical models, reflective questioning, and thought-provoking stories. Music educators will find this book to be most informative and inspiring.
