Making Musical Meaning

What inspires us to become musicians, teachers—and ultimately, teachers of music? How can we best communicate that insatiable passion for music and musicianship to our students?

     And is there a way to build that passion and meaning into our lesson plans, curricula, and programs?

     This remarkable and compelling book by Elizabeth Sokolowski asks these big questions and serves as an important bridge between passion and practical implementation of music learning in the classroom.

     Making Musical Meaning Is a clarion call for all of us to share the immeasurable beauty of music by nurturing the lifelong potential of our students.

     Elizabeth Sokolowski is Head of the Music Education Division of the School of Music at the Unversity of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA.
