Book excerpt: General music is informed by a variety of teaching approaches and methods that guide teachers in planning and implementing instruction. Teaching General Music offers a panoramic view of general music pedagogy and critical lenses through which to view these frameworks and practices. Including descriptions of each of the distinct approaches to general music teaching - Dalcroze, Informal, Interdisciplinary, Kodály, Music Learning Theory, Orff Schulwerk, Social Constructivism, and World Music Pedagogy - it provides critical analyses of teaching systems in light of the new ways children around the world engage with and experience music in their lives.
