Focuses on religious education, history, geography and cross-curricular planning in the primary school. It includes discussion of the purpose of education, and how the humanities fit with this purpose, with particular reference to the 1998 Education Act and 1994 National Curriculum Review. The book deals with the themes of time, place, values, communication, responsibilities and decision-making. These link the chapters, and are fully complemented with case studies. For each concept there are suggestions for practical classroom activities. The reader will find the book invaluable in integrating the subjects across the National Curriculum.

'A boy sings...a beautiful thing', but is it? What kinds of boy, singing what kinds of music and to whom? This work aims to present a unique consideration of boys' singing that shows the high voice to be historically, culturally and physiologically more problematic even than is commonly assumed.

This essential text covers social, physiological, musical, and pedagogical aspects of young adolescent singing, with the focus on Key Stage 3 (ages 11-14) and the progression from primary school. It uses case studies to illustrate best practice and introduces the Cambiata approach.
