Giving Voice to Children’s Artistry: A Guide for Music Teachers and Choral Conductors 1st Edition Mary Ellen Pinzino

This book presents a comprehensive view of children’s musical artistry and how to develop it in both the music classroom and children’s chorus. Author Mary Ellen Pinzino presents the musical mind as the gateway to children’s artistry, addresses the power of movement in its embodiment and advancement, and shows how song―rhythm, melody, and text, independently and together―influence children’s developing artistry musically, expressively, and vocally at every level. Accordingly, she also offers a multitude of specific songs that inspire children’s artistry, all in various tonalities and meters and on a continuum of increasing difficulty.
