Rites of Passage - Effective Transition and Curriculum Continuity

This publication tackles the difficulties of ensuring a smooth transition for children from one phase to another. It is designed to help teachers of music think through the processes involved in transition, plan how best to provide excitement and ensure curriculum continuity across the phases, and use outside agencies to help children see their musical life in a broad community context.
It contains a range of discursive essays about history, principles and research, as well as practical implications and projects being tried out in schools and other contexts at present. The collection will provide a stimulating read for all those involved in teaching music to and with children and young people.
