Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide music teachers with a means to develop their lesson planning skills. It is to give the teacher the guidelines and structure that can work as the foundation for flowing, musical lessons. Although by necessity some sample lessons and materials are included here, it is not the author?s intent to give the reader ready-made lesson plans, nor to stifle the reader?s creativity. It is merely to give the teacher a structure, a foundation for creative lesson planning. Structure should not be equated to rigidity. The structure is merely a framework, a foundation allowing for individual creativity and differences. My house may have the same floor plan as my neighbor?s, but it is entirely different, from furnishings to color schemes. For this very important reason, this book contains no formulas which are intended to be taken literally, nor does it contain a series of lesson plans intended for literal application. What is offered is a step-by-step approach for designing one?s own lesson plans. It is hoped that these steps will aid the Kodály specialist as well as the general music education teacher to plan more effectively, more efficiently, and with greater foresight.
