Additional text
Music Lessons Plans for Social Justice provides ready-to-use resources suitable for any curriculum in any part of the world. I find this publication relevant to various topics including areas that focus on decolonization, socio-cultural significance of music, and learner engagement with music education for situations beyond the classroom. Indeed '...students learn more fully when they are engaged in music making that has contextual relevance to them'. This publication presents contexts that are socially relevant to today's learner.
