Into Music 1 – Classroom Music in Years 1-3

Made in 2001, this is still an outstanding resource, particularly for the beginning classroom music teacher in Aotearoa / New Zealand.

The first section looks at the skills and concepts involved in listening, moving, singing, playing, creating and representing music through a range of effective pedagogical practices for teaching and learning in music.

The second section provides units of work, which teachers can download and adapt to meet the needs of the children in their communities and classes. ‘

Each unit has a specific focus of listening, singing, playing, and creating and representing.

Just as the strands of the curriculum document are linked and woven together, so the skills and aspects of music learning are integrated through each unit.
