Graduate students already know what to teach when they begin teaching undergraduates, but often find they lack the knowledge of how to teach it. Teaching Music in Higher Education is the only book designed specifically to help graduate students in music teach undergraduates (both music- and non-music majors). Covering all aspects of the process--from the first class taught through obtaining tenure and promotion--this book effectively answers a host of questions that beginning instructors are likely to have. The authors emphasize innovation and learner-centered pedagogy, stressing a teaching style tailored to meet individual student needs. Beginning music instructors learn how to organize and explain materials in ways appropriate to students' abilities; create an environment for learning; help students become autonomous self-regulated learners; and reflect upon
EDITORIAL :
"The material definitely reflects contemporary ideas in the field. The focus on learner-centered instruction, while not new to education in general, is very new to music instruction in higher education and needed. The text is well documented with current resources." --Harold Abeles, Columbia University
"I think you have a winner in this text. I would stress the thorough coverage of a number of important topics that young professors face in their journey from their graduate student years to first position as a lecturer/instructor/assistant professor to achieving a promotion as tenured associate professor. Graduate students would value and evaluate this text positively." --Bernard Dobroski, Northwestern University
"The writing style is quite accessible and appropriate for my students. It is written in a personal and conversational manner that will be more motivational
REVIEW :
The book, considering it is a paperback, was in very good condition. Her characters try to live their faith but too often their human nature gets in the way.

In the text, and in the appendices, Chang gives extensive examples of her own autoethnographic writing.
I admire Ruth Behar's work, and particularly her point that to write work that has the ability to resonate with other's experiences, one must be willing to be a "vulnerable observer" who is painfully open. Many opportunities for teaching her about customs from other countries, plus the recipes she can help with.. This book covers everything from “what is online reputation management” to “finding your centers of influence” to “
