Zusatztext This is a fascinating collection of research projects rooted in the everyday realities of classroom music. What makes the book special is that the research is undertaken by relatively new teachers of music. Consequently there is a freshness and vitality about their narratives, which are imaginatively woven together by the two distinguished editors. Trainee music teachers will derive both motivation and inspiration in reading this book, so that hopefully they will strive to improve their own practice, and start to change things for the better.
