Reviews

A strength of the book is the invaluable chronological reviews of the literature related to metacognition both within education generally and music education specifically; a valuable resource. The author grounds the conceptual content with clear, practical examples and scenarios relevant for teachers in the classroom or private studio. Benton sees metacognition is a tool to engage students more deeply with the content of the discipline and the development of musical autonomy. -- Graham McPhail, Lecturer, School of Critical Studies in Education, Faculty of Education, The University of Auckland Dr. Carol Benton has provided an excellent resource for music teachers. I recommend it for both the theoretical research and the practical applications offered. Thinking about Thinking should be essential reading for ALL teachers and musicians. -- Frank E. Folds, Director of Bands, Alton C. Crews Middle School, President, Georgia Music Educators Association
