General Music: Dimensions of Practice is a practical guide for
music teachers and teaching artists who strive to teach music
holistically. The book begins by framing general music as a
holistic music education that is comprehensive, meaningful, and
relevant to diverse learners in school and community settings. It
is followed by chapters that are organized into one of four
dimensions of music practice: performing, connecting, creating, and
responding. Chapter authors share creative and innovative teaching
ideas, for both elementary and secondary school students, that
focus on a wide range of topics, including: songwriting, composing,
improvising, singing, moving, playing, listening, analyzing,
contextualizing, and connecting. Each chapter provides (a) a
rationale for a given area of music study, establishing its
importance and relevance; (b) a research or theoretical background,
to inform and guide practice; and (c) a pedagogical model or
framework illustrated through lesson ideas, curriculum units, or
vignettes. The ideas in this book seek to inspire and guide
teachers as they build comprehensive music programs that are
informed by students and communities.

Join Pintro the robot's journey as he learns how to create art!
Pintro is a robot who is practically perfect. He knows all there is
to know about how to garden, how to bake, and especially everything
about math. But the one thing Pintro does not know how to do? Make
art! Whenever he tries, he just produces a perfect copy of the
subject. While that's not a bad thing, he knows there's more to art
than that. Can Pintro connect with his creativity and overcome his
programming so he can finally paint the way he wants to?
Forest management has evolved from a mercantilist view to a
multi-functional one that integrates economic, social, and
ecological aspects. However, the issue of sustainability is not yet
resolved. Quantitative Techniques in Participatory Forest
Management brings together global research in three areas of
application: inventory of the forest variables that determine the
main environmental indices, description and design of new
environmental indices, and the application of sustainability
indices for regional implementations. The book outlines a public
participatory process to assess sustainability in forest
management. It explores a new approach that links human and natural
systems, reconsiders our interdependence with the diversity of
life, and recognizes our role in a unique and complex system. The
book also identifies quantitative indices that provide a vast
amount of information on soil, landscape, and ecological
functioning. It highlights the importance of these indices for
public information programs on participatory processes and provides
an operating procedure to identify the degree of convergence in the
utility of multiple evaluators. The last chapter describes a
downloadable computer application that integrates the techniques
explained in the book. Users accessing the application are offered
a map representing their preferred forest management plan in the
study zone. They are also given a map with the results of their
corresponding community of evaluators, including the numerical and
qualitative data for both. The system stores a record of the visit,
including the visitor's profile and responses, to progress towards
the joint forest management plan. The quantitative techniques
highlighted in this book create the basis for the development of
scientific methodologies of participatory sustainable forest
management. It details the methodology for the design of a forest
management plan that best suits a specific preference system.
This book deals with two areas: Global Commons and Security:
inextricably melted together and more relevant than ever in a world
which is ever globalized and... with an incognita looming on the
horizon: the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic upon the
International Relations and globalization. Global Commons have
always been relevant. It was Mahan who argued that the first and
most obvious light in which the sea presents itself from the
political and social point of view, is that of a great highway; or
better, perhaps, of a wide common... Nowadays, this view has been
further developed and, in addition to the unique legal implications
that the Global Commons introduce, they are viewed, more and more
intently, as a common pool of resources. Or perhaps, not that
common... Resources, the key word! Which has to be always
supplemented by two key words: access and security. And still,
another one: data, the cyberspace contribution to the equation.

Explore the creative ways music educators across the country are
approaching emerging practices in music teaching and learning.
Outlined in twenty-five unique case studies, each program offers a
new perspective on music teaching and learning, often falling
outside the standard music education curriculum. Find innovative
ideas and models of successful practice to incorporate into your
teaching, whether in school, university, or community settings.
Close the gap between music inside and outside the music classroom
and spark student interest. The diversity of these real-world case
studies will inspire questioning and curiosity, stimulate lively
discussion and innovation, and provide much food for thought.
Designed for music teachers, preservice music education students,
and music education faculty, this project was supported by Society
for Music Teacher Education's (SMTE) Areas of Strategic Planning
and Action on Critical Examination of the Curriculum, which will
receive a portion of the proceeds.
As we listen and move to music, sing, compose, and play, we engage
in musical experiences. These happen in formal learning settings,
such as schools and rehearsal halls, but also in informal settings,
such as homes and community centers. Musical experiences are
fundamentally social and can teach us about ourselves and our
relationship to others. This book explores some of the many ways we
experience music and create musical meaning from infancy through
older adulthood. While vignettes, narratives, and cases form the
primary focus of each chapter, the contributors of the book use
extant research and theory to deepen understanding of a particular
phenomenon, idea, or experience. Chapters are written by leading
experts who examine music teaching and learning. They employ
various qualitative research methodologies, including case study,
narrative inquiry, oral history, and ethnography, yet their
contributions are readable, engaging, and refreshingly insightful.
General music is informed by a variety of teaching approaches and
methods. These pedagogical frameworks guide teachers in planning
and implementing instruction. Established approaches to teaching
general music must be understood, critically examined, and possibly
re-imagined for their potential in school and community music
education programs. Teaching General Music brings together the top
scholars and practitioners in general music education to create a
panoramic view of general music pedagogy and to provide critical
lenses through which to view these frameworks. The collection
includes an examination of the most prevalent approaches to
teaching general music, including Dalcroze, Informal Learning,
Interdisciplinary, Kodaly, Music Learning Theory, Orff Schulwerk,
Social Constructivism, and World Music Pedagogy. In addition, it
provides critical analyses of general music and teaching systems,
in light of the ways children around the world experience music in
their lives. Rather than promoting or advocating for any single
approach to teaching music, this book presents the various
approaches in conversation with one another. Highlighting the
perceived and documented benefits, limits, challenges, and
potentials of each, Teaching General Music offers myriad lenses
through which to re-read, re-think, and re-practice these
approaches.
