 Cooperative Learning & Music
Marya Katz & Christi Brown (All Grades)
Bands play in perfect sync. Orchestras require everyone to play their part. Why then, when we teach
students about music don't we take advantage of the power of cooperation? Maybe the reason is there
just hasn't been a music teacher resource guide that provides the blueprint—until now, that is! In
this massive, activity-rich resource guide, you will find cooperative structures and activities to
teach the fundamentals for singing, playing instruments, and reading and notating music. There are
tons of ready-made cards and blacklines such as Vocabulary Volley, Bass Clef Bonanza, and Interval
Insanity to teach the concepts of music composition including melody, rhythm, harmony, form tone
color, texture, and expression. All the activities take advantage of Kagan Structures to encourage
active participation by every student to ensure everyone is learning about, talking about, and
writing about music. Use this book as an entire music curriculum or pick and choose activities to
enliven your music class. 396 pages. BKBM • $34
