Common Sense in Music Teaching

The William Lovelock’s guide to the fundamentals of music teaching in schools, first published in 1965. Elements of the profession examined include lessons and practice, aural work, sight reading, and the role of the teachers themselves. A fascinating look at the nature of music education that has much to inform our current perspectives. This book is addressed primarily to the less experienced teacher as well as to the candidate for a teacher’s diploma. It aims to help the kind of teacher who is concerned chiefly if not entirely with younger pupils, and whose work should lay a foundation on which more advanced study can be based.
