Becoming a Music Teacher: From Student to PractitionerNew music teachers often struggle to find a way to connect the content learned in college classes with the content that will be taught in the classroom, since the nature of their work demands a high level of both musical and educational ability, while also the skills to switch from tuning an orchestra to leading a marching band or practicing voice parts with a chorus. Becoming a Music Teacher: Student to Practitioner focuses on making the connections

New music teachers often struggle to find a way to connect the content learned in college classes with the content that will be taught in the classroom, since the nature of their work demands a high level of both musical and educational ability, while also the skills to switch from tuning an orchestra to leading a marching band or practicing voice parts with a chorus. Becoming a Music Teacher: Student to Practitioner focuses on making the connections between the college music classroom and public school music classroom transparent, visible, and relevant. Award-winning music educators Donald L. Hamann and Shelly Cooper have created a versatile text for music teacher education, and one that will provide a significant resource for music education students across the US.

Based around an innovative organization and approach, Becoming a Music Teacher is made up of 40 short modules that focus on increasing a teacher's comfort and confidence level when instructing or leading groups. Each module is broken down into four individual components that demonstrate real life transfers from classes to classroom through the components of Personal Awareness, Personal Musicianship, Pre-Conducting, and Professional Knowledge. The Personal Awareness component gives a lesson on good teaching skills by focusing on body awareness, body language, and communication styles rather than abstract theories of education. Personal Musicianship provides a guided learning approach to teaching sight-singing and opportunities to create both vocal and instrumental accompaniments with the songs that are included in the modules. Pre-conducting discusses ways in which certain gestures or concepts could be used in rehearsing a school ensemble through the development of hand/arm independence, posture, and gestures. Professional knowledge links the module to the real world and places it in the context of the workplace, offering advice on how to work with other teachers and administrators, and includes characteristics of successful teachers, the role of schools in contemporary society, and diverse learners. When taken together, these components help the student develop a genuinely rounded skill set for the classroom.

The lessons are activity-based and interactive, allowing readers to experiment, communicate, and provide feedback. The modules are also flexible and have been designed to be easily integrated into a music education classroom and applied to specific age groups, includingadult learners, a demographic many music education students encounter but one rarely discussed in music education classrooms. Each module stands alone, allowing instructors to customize their lesson plans by selecting or highlighting the modules most relevant to their class. This text also includes exercises that promote reflection on professionalism, collegiality, and legal factors that affect both students and teachers, not found in most education texts.

Great product
I have been using Metamucil for a long time! I can tell a difference in using the plain and the vitamin variety. I feel a more energetic. I will not use this variety close to bedtime. It does fizz a lot. Only add a small amount of water to the glass and after the fizz settles down add more water. Great product!

The best no sugar natural fiber
Even if you have no problems with your dietary system, fiber is an excellent way to protect your lower GI system. I use the no sugar version as I want the fiber, but I want the extra carbs in the regular version. Regular no sugar is fine, and has no problems with taste. Every so often, I treat myself to this better stevia sweetened version. I don’t take either one 3 times a day, as recommended, but I do take it every morning. If you like the regular sugar free version, give this a try. Since I take it every day, I do like occasionally switching to the better version. Read the labels of your fiber supplement products, if you take them. Very few give you the amount of fiber that this does, and you control exactly how much fiber you want. If you read up on the benefits of adding to your daily fiber intake, you will wonder why you haven’t been adding this to your daily healthy supplements This is a very effective way to protect yourself, and most other products don’t come close!

Great product for bloat and regularity
This works! I try to take a big tablespoon in the morning and if Im feeling bloated maybe one at night. Within a day or two, it helps you get regular! And it makes you go..and not loose, runny stool either. It leaves with that “empty stomach” feeling. I have this set up on auto delivery. Its a bit expensive but like that it has stevia, so am willing to pay the extra. It tastes like OJ but drink it asap or it becomes thick and slime like within a few minutes.

More expensive and not as sweet as regular Metamucil, but no aspartame
I switched to the Stevia variant of Metamucil to cut down my daily intake of aspartame sweetener. The taste definitely isn’t as sweet and invariably some might not like that. I thought the same initially, but after a few dosages of the less-sweet Stevia Meta I’m now use to the taste. For me—less aspartame in my diet is more important than having an overly sweet product. The product functions the same way and is very effective in keeping you regular and the additional fiber in your diet is very important. Try it, but keep in mind it may take some time getting use to the less sweet flavor.

Incredible…
This stuff is incredible. I used to take a psyllium supplement semi regularly but would always stop after a week or so of getting tired of it. This stevia version of Metamucil is better than any fiber I’ve ever taken. Tastes great, dissolves immediately, works incredibly well, and doesn’t get old or repetitive like other versions. Flavorful but not overly sweet. It’s amazing what it does to your poops too. Unbelievable.
