This book about Music Teaching as a Pedagogy of Listening by Reinhild Brass was originally published in German by Gerhard Beilharz, and has been newly translated by Veronika Roemer and edited by Sheila Johns.

“At the Widar School that she co-founded in Wattenscheid, Germany, Reinhild Brass developed an unconventional approach to music education for Grades 1 through 8 centering on movement, improvisation, and a variety of newly created instruments. The auditory paths discovered and explored in this process are presented here for the first time in a comprehensive narrative: a child-centered repertoire of exercises unfolds across eight grade levels accompanied by in-depth reflection.”
