The number of Spanish-speaking students in the United States
continues to grow dramatically, leaving many English-speaking
teachers—especially music teachers—searching for tools to
effectively bridge the communication gap.
In Spanish for Music Teachers, authors Jacob Prosek and
Heidi Nelson draw from their studies abroad and years of
classroom experience to present practical, ready-to-use
strategies, vocabulary, repertoire, and reproducible materials
for K–12 music educators who serve English Language Learner
(ELL) populations.
The authors provide an overview of ELL instruction, including
insights into ELL terminology and an explanation of the ELL
program models present in schools today. They also recommend
easy-to-implement ELL strategies that will significantly
improve the music classroom for all students.
Throughout the book, teachers will find hundreds of practical
Spanish words and phrases—alongside their English translations—
that cover everything from specific musical terms and
instructions to basic conversational Spanish. Additionally,
Prosek and Nelson provide bilingual vocabulary cards ready-made
for photocopying and convenient templates of bilingual letters
to send home.
The authors also dedicate three chapters to selecting
repertoire with the ELL student in mind. Prosek and Nelson
discuss how to choose linguistically and culturally diverse
songs, and they include a carefully selected list of fifteen
Spanish songs and fifteen English songs—complete with music
notation, teaching suggestions, and translations—to put to use
in the classroom right away.
Jacob Prosek is a general music teacher and choir conductor in
Lombard, Illinois, and Heidi Nelson is a fourth grade Spanish
Dual Language teacher in Naperville, Illinois.
Book, 210 pages.
