Clean, tight, unmarked; 2cm closed tear to bottom front edge of dust jacket; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In this book, O'Toole, along with a host of Wisconsin master teachers, helps lead both students and teachers to a deeper understanding of the music they encounter. This teaching model, developed by the Wisconsin Comprehensive Musicianship Project, invites music educators to create meaningful, comprehensive lesson plans with the help of five basic points: Analysis, Outcomes, Strategies, Assessment, and Music Selection. These points lead to a greater understanding of the music performed while helping teachers provide accountability through creative assessment strategies, program concerts that teach musical and historical concepts, encourage cross-cultural application of music education, and meet National Standards. In addition to step-by-step explanations of how to embrace the CMP model and put it into practice, the author also draws from the collective wisdom of CMP teachers to provide hundreds of practical teaching examples and innovative ideas guaranteed to enhance musical instruction in performing ensembles. More than just a practical resource for developing comprehensive lesson plans for performing groups, this book is sure to be a source of inspiration for both music educators and the students they teach.
