David Ashworth has distilled the best of these ideas into a series of strategies that can be adapted for use in any teaching situation.

Music
In a rapidly changing world, this is an exciting time to be teaching music. The opportunities are many, but the hurdles can be considerable. The sheer breadth of the present music curriculum is such that it presents a real challenge for the music teacher in terms of subject knowledge and resourcing. In addition to the Western Classical Tradition, we now have to provide quality teaching and learning in World Music, Rock and Pop and Music Technology. There are solutions however!

A music syllabus that is largely based on working with Rock and Pop music can be highly effective in motivating our students. They find it stimulating, relevant and enjoyable.

A highly practical course, making use of simple, affordable hardware and software - which can easily be adapted to each individual teacher's requirements.
