Bøker av Janet Mills

This new edition of Music in the Primary School, a standard handbook for many years, was completed by the author in 2007. It contains new research, with the same practical application (for musicians and non-specialists alike), and takes into account requirements of the National Curriculum.

This thought-provoking and entertaining book draws on the findings of research and on the author's wealth of experience to encourage teachers to build upon the strengths of current practice. Suitable for a wide readership, it will challenge and inspire anyone who is, or is thinking of becoming, an instrumental teacher.

How do some schools get music so right while others get it so wrong? Janet Mills, a former HMI and teacher, draws on work in more than 800 schools and published research as she seeks to help schools improve their practice - no matter how good it is already. Successful teaching, she argues, is creative, uplifting, enabling, and, above all, rooted in music.
