Read a Book for Music Class? Are You Serious?

Stover, Lois T.

Music Educators Journal, v76 n2 p48-52 Oct 1989

Supports the use of novels in music classes to activate student interest in an unfamiliar field. Shows how "Come Sing, Jimmy Jo" (K. Paterson), "Pennington's Seventeenth Summer" (K.M. Peyton), and "Jazz Country" (N. Hentoff) can enhance music learning because characters engage in aesthetic judgment, struggle with artistic problems, and discuss their art. (LS)
