This was a course primarily for future classroom teachers of lower grades (non-music-majors) designed to enable them to use the Silver Burdett and other standard classroom music books in their teaching, with a focus on practical skills in reading notation, playing rudimentary piano, singing and drumming, and composing simple songs to reinforce lessons in math, social studies, and other classroom subjects. I taught this course twice at Towson University.
