Abstract
The Playful Music Education 5 textbook consists of 10 thematically focused chapters, which are linked to the topics covered in Homeland Science and Science; it is closely linked to the methodological manual, which includes a clearly defined lesson structure and can thus help even less experienced teachers; at the same time, it contains many activity themes from which the teacher can choose and can therefore work creatively with the publications; the methodological manual ensures cross-curricular relations; emphasis is also placed on the link with art education, which has been facilitated by the cooperation with an experienced expert on this subject. At the end of the textbook there is a glossary of the concepts and composers discussed, as well as a clear table with a breakdown of the musical instruments already discussed.
The textbook is supplemented by a workbook in which pupils can practise their music education in depth and in which they will also find an appendix with new didactic cards with musical signs, musical instruments and their names, etc. The chapters are structured to motivate pupils to learn, whether in the form of introductory motivational exercises and pictures or other playful exercises through which various musical skills and knowledge are gradually acquired.
The textbook, workbook and method manual are accompanied by three CDs with recordings of sounds, listening tracks, chants and songs, available with and without singing.
