Purposeful Pathways 3 (Book/Online Resources)

Purposeful Pathways: Possibilities for the Music Classroom (Book 3) by Roger Sams and Beth Ann Hepburn is a collection of curricular materials for learning music through active music making. Based on the philosophies of Orff, Kodály, and Dalcroze, this collection of developmentally sequenced learning activities (lessons) offers elementary music educators diverse choices for how to present folk song material, including lessons in singing, literacy, movement, improvisation, composition and instrumental ensemble.
