It discusses the important physical, psychological, cognitive, and social developmental changes that occur in students in grades 4–8 (ages 9–14) and the implications of these changes for instruction in a variety of school organizational formats. Offering music educators both broad and detailed guidelines to fit the needs of this challenging age group, the \"musicianship approach\" regards general musical classes for grades 4–8 as an apprenticeship for lifelong musical involvement.     The book establishes a rationale for general music education and then introduces an \"Action Learning Model,\" which is based on current research in many disciplines, including a praxial theory of music education. This model focusses on musical learning and skills that have real-life applications and lifelong consequences. It treats classes as \"musicianship laboratories\" in which fundamental musicianship skills are explored and developed in conjunction with holistic musical actions involving composing, performing, singing, and listening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43663380742204,"sku":null,"price":198.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9780195137781.jpg?v=1762964785","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/teaching-general-music-in-grades-48-21867","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
