About Teaching Mathematics: A K-8 Resource, 3rd Edition

A compendium of more than 240 classroom-tested lessons, this essential resource helps teachers build student understanding and skills and understand how children best learn math. In this third edition, Marilyn Burns has completely revised the first section to reflect what she has learned over the years from her classroom experience with students and her professional development experience with teachers. This section has also been expanded to address these important topics: teaching math vocabulary, incorporating writing into math instruction, linking assessment and instruction, and using children’s literature to teach key math concepts. In an entirely new section, Marilyn addresses a wide range of questions she has received over the years from elementary and middle school teachers regarding classroom management and instructional issues.

Jazz Theory Resources: Volume 2 (Jazz Book) Reviews

Review by Robert Feldhaus:

This book is by far the best resource I have ever come across on jazz theory. I am something of a connoisseur of the jazz educational book market, since I am a voracious autodidact and aspiring jazz pianist. Mr. Ligon’s work stands out as a labor of love from a man who obviously knows what he’s talking about.

For one thing, there is an appropriate amount of text to accompany the musical examples. Some authors are so laconic as to be frustrating; they assume too much on the part of the reader, in terms of making mental connections and applications. They might give a musical example without enough accompanying text to help the reader generalize the principle being illustrated, or put the example into a context that helps the reader understand WHY the example is being given. Mr. Ligon, by contrast, gives many examples which are actual improvisations by known artists, and he comments, sometimes note by note or phrase by phrase, on what’s going on in a way that I can only call illuminating.

Another of Ligon’s strengths is that he is knowledgeable of the classical tradition, and gives examples and commentary which show that the principles of good melody are universal, from Bach to Bird. Moreover, he understands that, in the final analysis, melodic considerations take precedence over harmonic ones, which is a theoretical principle I fully agree with. In other words, voice leading and horizontal, temporal considerations give rise to vertical, harmonic associations. He is a master analyst of the melodic line. I have learned so much from reading him, and my soloing has taken off since I have encountered his books, because he gives me an undrstanding of broad principles which, once I understand them, are generative; they allow me to create new things on their basis.

One of the things he has helped me understand is the idea of harmonic generalization, that is, that one can choose to improvise over the general key area (usually the tonic triad with embellishments), ignoring the specific chords. The more usual approach of jazz educators, that of thinking about the specifics of each chord and improvising using the appropriate guide tones, Ligon calls "harmonic specificity", and he points out that an improvisor can choose either approach at a given moment, according to his artistic taste.

This book would be great for any aspiring improvisor, on any instrument. I also have studied parts of Ligon’s "Comprehensive Technique for the Jazz Musician," which I recommend equally with his "Jazz Theory Resources" book (Volumes 1 and 2). There is an amazing amount of material in all of these books, enough for years of self-study.

Ligon has a great theoretical mind. However, he is definitely thinking of the actual needs of an improvisor; in other words, the information he gives is PRACTICAL and USEABLE. He is fond of the saying that there are only two rules in jazz theory: 1) Does it sound good? and 2) Does it sound good? This philosophy shows itself in his work. Every topic he goes into has made my playing "sound good", very quickly.

This book is for every thinking jazz musician’s bookshelf. It has paid for itself many times over in musical pleasure (and gigs I might not otherwise have gotten).

Review by P. C. Meads:

JAZZ THEORY RESOURCES
I recommend buying both Volume I and II. Essentially the tome was split into two rather than publish it in a single volume. The page numbering in Volume II continues from Volume I.

Volume I starts with a review of Basic Theory Material, Chapter 2 covers Rhythm, Chapter 3 Basic Tonal Materials and so on. The point is that `Basic’ doesn’t mean a superficial treatment: it means a comprehensive helpful analysis of things you must know.

Volume II carries on where Volume I left off: it is not `Part 2 Advanced’: it is a continuation.

There is an immense amount theory and practical application in these two books. I came across them by accident when doing some research and bought them immediately. They are on my instant access bookshelf!
