Case Studies in Music Education
Frank Abrahams and Paul Head
Case Studies in Music Education is about making the journey as a music teacher--about the critical real-world issues music teachers face but rarely seem to get the notice of college or graduate school music courses.
How should a music teacher balance learning and performing? What is the best way to handle an angry parent? What are the consequences of the grades teachers assign? What are the best ways to discipline students? How should teachers relate to the administrators? To other teachers? What if the school is breaking the copyright law? These are just a few of the issues covered in this book.
The emphasis here is not on the solution, but on the process. There are many viable approaches to nearly every obstacle, and before any meaningful long-term solutions can be make, teachers must identify their own personal philosophy of music education and recognize those traits that are admirable in another's style.
Case Studies in Music Education is a book that will engage you and help you become a more effective music teacher.
Frank Abrahams is Associate Professor and Chair of the Music Education Department at Westminster Choir College of Rider University, in Princeton, New Jersey.
