This last chapter has good points on how to keep students focus on seeing the bigger picture and combining prior knowledge to discipline. I thought the accounts of students really help them in seeing and writing about their experiences and how it applies to the real world. As a music educator, we are concern with the same issues. We want kids to engage and learn about music in hope of helping them to engage and experience in something that will enrich their lives.
Although many things in this book had very good methods applicable to music, some was not. I couldn't relate much of this chapter to music but the idea is very useful. In general the book was very insight full and I like many topics in the book useful and could be applicable in a band setting.
As educator, we all are aiming toward a goal. That is the educate our future young adults in providing knew way of seeing and exploring ideas. In this we tie the most far way subjects together. I like the new approach this book presents each subject and material.
