ABSTRACT
This practical guide complements the successful textbook Learning to Teach Music in the Secondary School by Chris Philpott and Gary Spruce (2007), also published by Routledge. The book is intended to support student teachers who are learning to teach music in a wide range of contexts, along with their higher education and school-based tutors and mentors. It brings together work by a wide range of professionals who are engaged with teacher education. It provides a range of practical activities designed to support student teachers’ development in music teaching and their understanding of important current developments within and beyond the curriculum. The book will also allow experienced music teachers to consider how they might develop their practice in line with these important developments, challenging them to explore new possibilities.
