| Abstract |
Public school teachers and college-level faculty members are increasingly introducing and utilizing music-related educational approaches in their classrooms. This handbook lists popular music resources for use as classroom-teaching materials, describes the function of print resources as instructional guides, and addresses descriptors of popular music pedagogy. Focusing on the growing spectrum of published scholarship available to instructors in specific teaching fields, such as art, geography, social studies, and urban studies, as well as scholarship on the multitude of general resources, such as biographical directories and encyclopedias of artist profiles, this handbook is a helpful compendium of information on integrating music and music-related approaches into classroom instruction. |
