The authors of this book have two main aims: to give teachers an idea of what it means to be musically educated; and to outline an academic rationale and educational framework for musical education. Much of the material stems from their work in schools and initial teacher education, both in the UK and abroad. They refer to the UK National Curriculum where appropriate, but avoid limiting tasks to particular ages, allowing for different developmental rates amongst children. The book has three main sections: Part One deals with core musical experiences, Part Two offers extension activities and alternative contexts, and Part Three examines the challenge of assessment in the arts.
