Overview
This practical resource for music educators provides 15 fully-developed and classroom-vetted instructional plans with assessments that are aligned to articulate learning from kindergarten through grade 12. With these instructional lessons and adaptations for K-12 music and STEM classes, pre-service educators, in-service educators, and administrators can better understand and immediately use tools for planning, assessing, and the practical integrating of STEM with Music.
As authors Shawna Longo and Zachary Gates demonstrate, the arts bring creativity and innovation to the forefront in STEM learning. This book helps music teachers make natural connections between science, technology, engineering, math, and music. To do so, the book frames twenty-first century learning skills and career-ready practices so that the creativity and innovation necessary to succeed in STEM content areas and careers can be directly addressed by the educational community. The connection that the book makes between STEM content areas and music stimulates inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.

Zachary Gates is a choral, piano, and music technology teacher for grades 6-7 in East Brunswick Public Schools, NJ. As a graduate of Westminster Choir College, he has performed choral works with the New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, and Philadelphia Orchestra. Zachary can be seen in a televised performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra at Princeton University and can also be heard in the Deutsche Grammophon release of Bernstein's Mass with the Philadelphia Orchestra. During his work involving choral conducting, he has brought high-school choral ensembles to perform at the NAfME Eastern Division Conference and at Carnegie Hall. He has also commissioned new works for orchestra and choir by nationally recognized composers. In addition to his work teaching and performing choral and classical music, Zachary is a music technologist, electronic synthesist, studio musician, and music producer for multiple artists in and around New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. He has presented workshops for Ti:ME, NAfME Eastern Division, NJMEA, TMEA, PMEA, and the American Choral Directors Association. His examples of methods for strategic lesson planning in choral rehearsals have also been included in recent publications on choral pedagogy. Zachary's conference work and research has centered around developing choral methods, programming, and projects for 21st century learners, as well as how to best teach electronic music, electronic synthesis, music production, and modern music making to students of all ages. In addition to topics such as coding for music, Zachary has presented on developing his own "Virtual Choir" after his school district was awarded a grant to develop the inspired project. Using a lense of Critical Pedagogy, he seeks to empower students by putting the means of sound design, beat design, and general modern music making into their hands. Zachary aims to continue exploring and teaching how music and technology can be used to enhance music education for all students.
