Composing Our Future is the ideal book for music teacher-educators
seeking to learn more about composition education. While much has
been written on the value of composition, both pre-service and
practicing teachers still report a degree of trepidation when asked
to engage in composition or in leading students to compose. In
order to prepare pre-service teachers and meet the needs of
practitioners already in the field, music teacher educators need
resources to guide the development of undergraduate and graduate
curriculum, specific courses, professional development workshops,
and environments where composition education can begin, grow and
flourish. This volume offers insight to current practices written
by authors engaged in this work. Each chapter provides information,
solid theory, and examples of successful practices that teacher
educators can draw upon in the creation and implementation of
engaging and invigorating practices in music education. This
information includes: * A charge to teacher educators to embrace
composition as a critical component in teacher preparation * An
examination of the philosophical issues surrounding composition's
inclusion in, and exclusion from, music teacher education * An
overview of what is known about child composers and the work they
create and how to help teachers draw vital information from that
body of literature * An examination of the relationship between
creativity and composition * Examples of successful practices
ranging from working with individual special learners to teaching
in a variety of school-based teaching contexts * Models of
university and school-based partnerships to facilitate pre-service
teachers' transition from collegiate study to school-based work
with children * An exploration into new tools, partnerships and
opportunities available through technology * A vision for creating
and sustaining meaningful composition programs both in colleges and
in PK-12 schools
