This course will prepare the prospective music educator to be able to create, develop, and teach successful classroom music programs for individuals from grade 6-12. Appropriate music course offerings will be outlined for both middle and high school settings based on the social, psychological, intellectual, and physical changes experienced by students of this age group. Practical, hands-on teaching experience will be achieved by having students prepare and present lessons. Performance opportunities and concerns will be discussed. Students will also examine a variety of resources, including the music of various cultures, as well as the resources available in their own community.
