How do we give a shape and design to our classes that refreshes and energizes? How might we create a musical flow and make our classes truly sing? Revealing the thinking behind his long teaching career working with both children and adults of all ages, internationally renowned music educator Doug Goodkin guides us to making music classes - and any classes - more memorable, magical, and musical. From the nitty-gritty details of "The Neat Shoe Club" to the grand sweep of Alfred North Whitehead's Three Stages of Mental Growth, this book offers both pedagogical reflection and practical ideas for the music classroom and beyond. The ideas presented here will inspire all teachers to teach with more playfulness, passion and purpose.
