The purpose of the Strategies for Teaching series is to help music teachers implement the K-12 National Music Education Standards and M.E.N.C.'s Prekindergarten Standards. Hundreds of music teachers across the country participated in this project, the largest such participation in an M.E.N.C. publishing endeavor. Each publication focuses on a specific curricular area and a particular level. Each includes teaching strategies based on the content and achievement standards, a preface and an introduction, and a resource list.
