Teaching for Musical Understanding by Wiggins

Ideal for introductory music education, philosophy and psychology of music education, and music education methods courses, Teaching for Musical Understanding explains current research-based theories of how students learn in order to show prospective and practicing music teachers how to teach effectively. Author Jackie Wiggins draws on her twenty-two years of experience teaching K-12 music and twenty years of teaching in higher education to demonstrate how theory applies to music education. The text is deeply grounded in the work of social constructivist theorists and researchers in both education and music education. The third edition takes a cultural psychology perspective, giving more attention to sociocultural influences and to the roles of learner agency in learning process. It includes in-depth examples of assessment practices in music classrooms, stories "from the trenches," and more extensive use of endnotes and citations.
"One of the best books of its kindTeaching for Musical Understanding is written with great style and authority."--Carlos X. Rodriguez, University of Michigan "An excellent mix of the theoretical and the practical. It is exactly what entry-level undergraduate music education majors need as a first text in the field."--Frank Heuser, UCLA "The only comprehensive discussion that applies theory to music education."--Joseph Pignato, SUNY Oneonta
Jackie Wiggins is Distinguished Professor Emerita of Music Education and former Director of the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Oakland University.
