Howell-Curricular Pillars
This article talks about the difference between using the pillars or units methods of teaching. The pillars method is about reinforcing a topic so that the student doesnt forget what he or she learned in the future. Kind of like building knowledge on top of knowledge. The units method is teaching it and moving on just like in a book how there are different units. I personally like the pillars method because it helps the student recall what they learned and they dont forget it which is what your trying to do in the first place.
Taggart-Meeting the Music needs of all Students
This article is about how music should not be considered extra-curricular because just like in math or science some students have more potential to do better in music. It is also a required class at the elementary level so is therefor not "extra". Just like in anyother class students should be given chances to rise to their best in the music classroom.
