General music teachers can promote gender inclusivity in music classrooms through music listening activities. Helping all students feel included and honored could improve student learning and foster continued and diversified music listening in school and beyond. The purpose of this article, the first of three about gender inclusivity in general music, is to help music teachers create inclusive general music experiences to support all students during music listening activities. By knowing learners as individuals, teachers can help all students feel valued in music classrooms, which may serve to deepen and extend their music listening skills and preferences.

As the U.S. population has become significantly more culturally diverse, many music educators have acknowledged the necessity to implement culturally diverse musics in music curricula. One of the challenges in teaching culturally diverse musics is designing a balance between performing-based activities and other activities such as listening, improvising, and composing activities. Despite the importance of developing students’ listening skills, listening lessons are still relatively deficient within the context of world musics. Therefore, we provide general music teachers with engaged listening strategies for implementing world music lessons in music classrooms. The lessons provided in this article are appropriate for upper elementary and secondary general music classrooms.

As music teachers, part of the job description involves the detection of student errors and the use of our experience and education to eliminate them. This article is an exploration of the role of error in the learning process, with the goal of recognizing mistakes not as an enemy to be vanquished but as a friend with much to teach us. Carol Dweck’s seminal research into the importance of “growth mindset,” in which students react to challenges with excitement rather than fear, lies at the heart of this journey. In addition, the importance of reflective, deliberate practice is highlighted as a key feature in developing musicality, as well as the idea of creating “desirable difficulty.” Teachers are encouraged to help students analyze their performances and develop strategies for overcoming difficulties. By designing our general music classrooms as places where student struggle is not just accepted but celebrated for its connection to true musical growth, we can help every student discover their potential.

Despite its rich heritage and enduring popularity, country music has historically been marginalized in American music education, usually in favor of more “high-brow” musical practices. This article explores potential explanations for this imbalance within the context of a general overview of cultural and social considerations and implications related to this important American art form. Finally, we outline practical steps that music teachers can take toward more inclusive and diverse approaches to music teaching and learning to include country music critically and as appropriate to meet students’ needs and interests. These steps include applications within current approaches to band, orchestra, choir, general music, songwriting, and guitar.

This practice-focused chapter describes analyzing student work (ASW), a process used by some music teachers in the United States to assess student work, analyze the results, and modify and improve instructions based on that analysis. Throughout the ASW process, specific qualities of student work are assessed using rubrics (markschemes). For teachers, the ASW process addresses the two questions “What do we do if a student is not proficient?” and “What do we do if a student is proficient and beyond?” The ASW process focuses on one aspect of student work at a time and provides data that enables teachers to modify instruction to improve student learning. Teachers can use data yielded from the ASW process in three ways: (1) to inform instruction and improve student proficiency; (2) to describe student work present and missing to construct a rubric; and (3) build consensus in scoring student work as a data team.
