How do some schools get music so right while others get it so
wrong? Janet Mills, a former HMI and teacher, draws on work in more
than 800 schools and published research as she seeks to help
schools improve their practice - no matter how good it is already.
Successful teaching, she argues, is creative, uplifting, enabling,
and, above all, rooted in music. The aim of this book is to 'Put
the music back into music'.Thought-provoking, challenging, and
empowering, this book is an essential read for all those interested
in music in schools, including class teachers, instrumental
teachers, and researchers. Using informative and entertaining
examples and anecdotes, Janet Mills criticizes notions such as
'musical children' and 'musical schools', and comments on the roles
of instrumental teachers and so-called 'non-specialists'. She
explores how music in school can, and must, interact with music out
of school, and considers how to measure progress in music - and how
not to. Music in the School is not a step-by-step guide to better
teaching, but rather a springboard for consideration, reflection,
and action. Anyone who cares about music at school will find this
book a powerful tool.
