Solfège, Ear Training, Rhythm, Dictation, and Music Theory: A Comprehensive Course

Standards. Scenarios involve diversity in the classroom, multicultural music curriculums, the writing and assessment of lesson plans for the performing arts, and explorations of curricular freedom. This book could be especially useful as a supplementary text in a graduate or undergraduate music education curriculum. Teachers using it in a methods course could ask students to present the facts of each case and describe the dilemma. In a group discussion or brainstorming session, students could pose possible solutions to the problems presented in the study. Although the authors do not provide potential solutions to each problem, they do provide talking points that assist in generating group discussion. Although I hoped that the second edition would include such solutions, it does not. But the absence of solutions does provide a healthy springboard for lively discussion and debate. Case Studies in Music Education provides the preservice and the current music teacher with a valuable set of circumstances that will initiate group discussion of quandaries teachers face every day. -Shelley Jagow, associate professor of music, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, shelleyjagow@wright.edu
