Growing Musicians: Teaching Music in Middle School and Beyond by Bridget Sweet

5.0

Sweet’s book talks about several different aspects of teaching middle school music, but some things can also be applied to 9th graders. I am about to graduate with an undergraduate degree in choral music education and would highly recommend this to other undergraduates in this degree program. My favorite chapters were “Establishing a Framework for Successful Music Classrooms” and “The Humanity of Teaching Music”. I love that Sweet interviewed music teachers in different areas (including general music and beginning guitar). Sweet included her own personal experiences as well as the experiences interviewees had.
