46. Textbook Review Continued Table of Contents McGraw-Hill Silver-Burdett The overall design of the text—is there a logical sequence and approach to the lessons I have the student book so there are no lesson plans. However music is organized by theme rather than musical content. Organization seems more logical: exploring, learning the language of music, building musical skills, then has music based around themes. Consideration for student learning: Learning styles, developmental ideas, etc. This has a variety of activities and musical styles. Also has a variety of activities and styles, plus it is set up in a way that seems to reflect at least some focus on musical development. Multicultural material Includes Jazz, Spirituals, Latin-American music, music from many countries, etc. Has a feature on African Drumming and also includes Jazz, Spirituals, Latin-American music, music from many countries, etc.
