He offers a brief and practical guide, customized specifically for music teachers. Topics covered include:
Motivation and achievement
Practice and skill acquisition
Behaviorism and cognitivism
Constructivism and social learning theory
Stages of early childhood, preteen years, and adolescence
Music literacy
Musical creativity and expressive performance

This book will empower readers to contribute to the musical lives of others, showing that all people can be musical if they are provided the right learning experiences and guidance.
