1 Publisher: Title: Grades: Pearson interactive MUSIC powered by Silver Burdett with Alfred PK-8 Interactive Music powered by Silver Burdett incorporates the rich tradition and history of a company that has served the music education profession for more than 130 years. Because this experience has been merged with applications of the most recent theory and research on music teaching and learning, teachers may safely rely on the curriculum, instructional models, and methods that comprise the program. The strong, empirical base of Interactive Music powered by Silver Burdett is strengthened by the large number of authors and academics who are themselves researchers in music teaching and learning. Many of them have specialized in and contributed to significant areas of music scholarship such as curriculum design, perception, acquisition of music skills, and repertoire for music learning. Authors for Orff Process, Listening Maps, Child Voice, Adolescent Voice, technology, and other specific areas have helped to shape the program. Interactive Music powered by Silver Burdett was designed, researched, and tested to incorporate the fundamentals of music education. Criteria used in developing all features of the program represent a merger of traditions with recent research on music learning and practical application. Each member of the carefully selected team of program authors has professional recognition for expertise as a teacher and researcher. In addition, leaders from specialized methodologies and interests served as authors for distinctive lesson sequences, instrumental arrangements, and unique features. 1

During sessions held across the country, music teachers had the opportunity to review features of the program and provide feedback to a non-employee, moderator. The data collected were carefully considered during the development of the program. Finally, music teachers were asked to complete song surveys to ensure the song selections in Interactive Music powered by Silver Burdett are developmentally appropriate and appealing to students. These surveys also included basic information about how teachers choose songs for their classroom. 14

15 Interactive Music powered by Silver Burdett is a research-based program that reflects pedagogical theory and practice in music education as evidenced by a review of the literature. The authorship team used this research-base as they created Interactive Music powered by Silver Burdett. 15
