"The Journey from Music Student to Teacher: A Professional Approach is the perfect text to introduce music teaching as a profession. Through its thoughtful narrative and integrated suggestions for activities that connect theory to practice, preservice music educators begin to consider their identities as music teachers, reflecting on many aspects of music teaching and learning while establishing a well-rounded foundational understanding of the profession that can connect to subsequent courses and experiences in music education."
— William I. Bauer, Professor and Area Head, Music Education, University of Florida
"This text not only serves as an essential resource for our intro course but provides the foundation for our entire music teacher education program. The content, activities, and resources inform and support our future teachers through every step in their journey to the music classroom. The Journey from Music Student to Teacher: A Professional Approach remains a critical component of all our music education classes."
— Phillip D. Payne, Associate Professor and Division Chair, Music Education, Kansas State University
"One of the most challenging elements for a beginning music teacher is understanding how they fit into the profession and how the profession melds with their identity. Raiber and Teachout provide the profession with an essential recourse as music education students navigate better understanding of the world they are about to enter. Music teachers who understand their identity and how they fit into our field have a strong foundation to be resilient and thrive. The authors seamlessly weave the development of pedagogical knowledge, skills, and a student-centered approach into a cohesive and digestible text helping our next generation of music teachers begin their journey into our profession."
— Scott Edgar, Associate Professor of Music and Chair of Music Education, Lake Forest College
