The Methodological Handbook Playful Music Education 5 consists of an introductory part. It is explained in more detail how to use the methodological manual, textbook and workbook; ten chapters containing instructions for working with particular topics in the textbook and workbook and a list of recordings.
It includes previews of pages from the textbook and workbook, in which the solution to individual tasks is presented. It also contains instructions referring to the relevant tasks in the textbook and workbook and QR codes that allow the teacher to play the recording from the Internet easily.
The handbook includes a clearly defined class structure and can thus help even less experienced teachers; at the same time, it contains many ideas for activities from which the teacher can choose, and it is, therefore, possible to work creatively with the publications; the methodological manual ensures inter-subject relations, which are highlighted in the form of pictograms; emphasis is also placed on the connection with Art Education, which was supported by cooperation with an expert in this field. The chapters are designed to motivate pupils to learn, whether in introductory motivational tasks and pictures or other playful exercises through which various musical skills and knowledge are gradually acquired.
In addition to the methodological manual, textbook, and workbook, there are three CDs with recordings of listening compositions, vocal warm-ups, and songs available with and without singing.
