This well-researched volume will benefit music educators, cross-curriculum advocates, and students of all ages. Recommended

British Journal of Music Education

The teaching and learning of composing in schools is so much ingrained into the English National Curriculum that it takes a book such as this to jolt British readers out of an established mindset, and to consider alternative ways of doing things....this book serves two audiences: academic researchers investigating the construct of educational composing, and teachers who wish to introduce or develop their classroom practice in this area....it offers a welcome addition to the literature on classroom composing
