O knihe

LET THE MUSIC PLAY! Harnessing the Power of Music for History and Social Studies
Classrooms provides readers an accessible introduction to employing music in history and
social studies classrooms. Teachers who wish to develop lessons using music as a resource will
find coverage of the significant relationship between music and social studies, pedagogical
models designed to facilitate using music within history and social studies lessons, and coverage
of salient historical themes in which music has been integral.
The book begins by establishing the connection between music and social studies themes. Here readers will explore the ways musicians
have attempted to address social, political or historical events and issues through song. Through relevant research and exclusive
interviews done for this book, the thoughts of prominent musicians noted for songs promoting social consciousness and selfawareness-
including Ian MacKaye, Henry Rollins and Aaron Bedard-are shared. The views of teachers and students in terms of the
connections between music and the social studies as well as their inclinations to using music in social studies classrooms are also
prominently addressed. Additionally, the book furnishes readers with a practical guide to using music in the social studies classroom.
Through explanation of four models for using music in the classroom, readers gain relevant ideas useful for a wide variety of
instructional methodologies. And finally, the authors delve into three of the most enduring
themes in American history and social studies curricula: race, labor and class. Through an
examination of these topics, within the framework of music, readers are given the opportunity
to discern the way music has manifested in each of these topics. Readers will also enjoy
lesson plans and annotated playlists associated with each of these topics.
