Welcome to Elementary General Music Methods

This semester we will be spending time in some local elementary schools observing and practice teaching lessons with elementary students. We also will be doing a fair amount of lesson planning and peer teaching.

A few things to take note of:

• The texts for this class will be the Wiggins (2001) Teaching for Musical Understanding and the Brooks & Brooks (1999) In case of understanding book. If you have already had a class with me, you should have these books.
• The meeting time for this class is different from the online catalog. We will meet Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7:40am to 8:55am. Please make plans to arrive on time.
  
• Please download the class syllabus from the link on this page. If you have questions, please feel free to ask in class or email me at sruthmann@indstate.edu.

See you in class!
