Reviews

This is a fabulous resource for integrating the arts with other subjects in an authentic context. The authors have researched appropriate instrumentation, rhythms, and culture-specific language to bring these lessons flavor. For teachers who are struggling with the final two national standards, and especially attempting to teach them in an honest way, this book is a 'must have' for your library! Not only are the lessons easy to implement in that they provide a sequential approach that can be used across multiple lessons, they are also self-explanatory and do not require that the teacher do outside research. The Orff arrangement in the Latin/African American chapter is very accessible and includes easy ostinato patterns that build on each other. Another wonderful aspect of this book is that, when given directives to collaborate in a schoolwide cross-curricular endeavor, these lessons are ready made. You will save your social studies and language arts teachers lots of work! -- Jessica Napoles, assistant professor of choral music education at the University of Utah Writing on the style and interpretation of folk music has always been a very difficult task. Authors tend to either treat the subject with an over-generalizedapproach or present it in such detail that the text ends up relating only to a very small circle of connoisseurs. In the this book, Dekaney and Cunningham find just the right balance to address some of Brazilian indigenous music styles. They provide readers with correct Portuguese pronunciation as well as beautiful and accurate illustrations. Most important, they inspire teachers to pursue a deeper understanding of Brazilian culture, instead of simply showing 'how to' perform this repertory. -- Eduardo Lakschevitz, professor of music history at the Universidade do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO), Brazil
