Teaching Music in Higher Education

• Used Book in Good Condition

Graduate students already know <em>what</em> to teach when they begin teaching undergraduates, but often find they lack the knowledge of <em>how</em> to teach it. <em>Teaching Music in Higher Education</em> is the only book designed specifically to help graduate students in music teach undergraduates (both music- and non-music majors). Covering all aspects of the process--from the first class taught through obtaining tenure and promotion--this book effectively answers a host of questions that beginning instructors are likely to have. The authors emphasize innovation and learner-centered pedagogy, stressing a teaching style tailored to meet individual student needs. Beginning music instructors learn how to organize and explain materials in ways appropriate to students' abilities; create an environment for learning; help students become autonomous self-regulated learners; and reflect upon and evaluate their own teaching. This book shows graduate students how to accomplish all of these goals and more.<br> <br> <strong>Features</strong> <br> *Materials for organizing a course, including a course preparation guide with sample syllabi, an outline of a typical course sequence for a music major, sample performance assessment tools, and sample forms for student midterms and final evaluations<br> *Vignettes written by undergraduate music majors and reflections from successful music faculty<br> *Advice for the job search and professional development<br> *A sample Faculty Activities Report for music professors and a sample tenure and promotion materials packet<br> *National Association of School of Music (NASM) requirements and teacher education requirements for music education majors<br> *Suggestions for further reading at the end of each topic<br><br>
