In this book author Cathy Benedict challenges and reframes
traditional ways of addressing many of the topics we have come to
think of as social justice. Offering practical suggestions for
helping both teachers and students think philosophically (and thus
critically) about the world around them, each chapter engages with
important themes through music making and learning as it presents
scenarios, examples of dialogue with students, unit ideas and
lesson plans geared toward elementary students (ages 6-14).
Taken-for-granted subjects often considered beyond the
understanding of elementary students such as friendship, racism,
poverty, religion, and class are addressed and interrogated in such
a way that honours the voice and critical thinking of the
elementary student. Suggestions are given that help both teachers
and students to pause, reflect and redirect dialogue with questions
that uncover bias, misinformation and misunderstandings that too
often stand in the way of coming to know and embracing difference.
Guiding questions, which anchor many curricular mandates, are used
throughout in order to scaffold critical and reflective thinking
beginning in the earliest grades of elementary music education.
Where does social justice reside? Whose voice is being heard and
whose is being silenced? How do we come to think of and construct
poverty? How is it that musics become used the way they are used?
What happens to songs initially intended for socially driven
purposes when their significance is undermined? These questions and
more are explored encouraging music teachers to embrace a path
toward socially just engagements at the elementary and middle
school levels.
