Wonderful resource for all music teachers
"Making Music Cooperatively - Using Cooperative Learning in Your Active Music-Making Classroom" has changed the way I teach and the way my students learn. Carol has done an excellent job explaining the principles of cooperative learning and guiding the music teacher in how to be successful implementing it in the music classroom. I have used cooperative learning principles in my classroom for years now, but after reading Carol's book, this was the first year I intentionally "set the stage" by creating lessons specifically designed to help the children learn how to work in small groups effectively. Carol's advice on creating a kindness zone, teaching a variety of conflict resolution skills, and helping students develop listening skills when working together has made a tremendous difference in my classroom this year. Her examples of cooperative learning structures as applied to the music room were also extremely helpful. While setting up a Cooperative Learning classroom takes a commitment of time and energy when creating units and lesson plans, the rewards are well worth the effort. "Making Music Cooperatively" is a wonderful resource to help any teacher, whether a beginner or veteran, create a rich learning environment in which students and teachers can grow together.
