Based on the National Standards, this text is divided into three parts. Part one, "Foundations, " covers the rationale for a Music Education program in the elementary years; meaning and musical experience; and elements and kinds of music. Part two-"Music Elements, Curriculum and Avenues to Music Learning"-covers curriculum development; music for special needs students; avenues to music learning and historic and contemporary approaches. Part three-"Musical Experiences"- is grouped by avenues of music learning and grades. Thanks to years of thorough research, Music in Elementary Education promises to be the standard text in the field.
