Silver Burdett Music is a programme which has been designed to meet the changing needs of teachers and children, and to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum at Key Stages 1-3. The set of resources includes teacher's editions, pupil's books, cassettes, a scope and sequence chart, and teacher's resource books. Ideas, resources and suggestions for lesson plans are provided for all teachers regardless of their own music experience or training. It is not necessary for the teacher using the programme to be able to read music or play accompaniments, since these are provided on the cassettes. This handbook shows the relationship between music and language skills and identifies the lessons where both sets of skills are reinforced.
