In this book, author and veteran music theory educator Jennifer Snodgrass visits several of these teachers, observing them<br>in their music theory classrooms and providing lesson plans that build upon their approaches. Based on three years of field study spanning seventeen states, coupled with reflections on her own teaching strategies,Â<em>Teaching Music Theory: New Voices and Approaches</em> highlights real-life teaching<br>approaches from effective (and sometimes award-winning) instructors from a wide range of institutions: high schools, community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and conservatories. <br><br>Throughout th, Snodgrass focuses on topics like classroom environment, collaborative learning, undergraduate research and professional development, and curriculum reform. She also emphasizes the importance of a diverse, progressive, and inclusive teaching environment throughout, from<br>encouraging student involvement in curriculum planning to designing lesson plans and assessments so that pedagogical concepts can easily be transferred to the applied studio, performance ensemble, and other courses outside of music. An accessible and valuable text designed with the needs of both<br>students and faculty in mind,<em>Teaching Music Theory</em> provides teachers with a vital set of tools to rejuvenate the classroom and produce confident, empowered students.<br>
