ABSTRACT

The curriculum in the primary grades includes a myriad of subjects. How to inte-grate and relate these subjects one to another to make learning more meaningfulfor children is a huge challenge for teachers. What follows are some ideas for integrating music with other subject areas. In addition, since technology can also play a role in curricular integration, not to mention the enhancement of music learning, ideas are offered in this area as well. Finally, numerous approaches for teaching music are currently in use in our music classrooms. Since each group of children is different, teachers must select appropriate methods and approaches for their particular teaching situation and teaching style. A description of some of the most prevalent approaches is offered.
