Review
Even before I picked this book up, I knew it was going to be a good one . . . Fautley makes it come alive. It is not just the quality of the writing and the humour. He shows us why it matters and what a difference good assessment can make to young people - and that I find interesting . . . What is so good about this book is that Fautley not only outlines the problems but also suggests solutions . . . Throughout this clearly written, highly readable book two central areas of concern emerge. One is that the most important role for assessment is to help students 'get better' at music. The other is that any practical solutions offered have to fit in with the reality of a workforce which is currently working at full stretch. It is these two priorities that make this book so important. If God hadn't wanted us to sort out assessment in music education, he wouldn't have given us Martin Fautley.

Assessment in Music Education provides a very welcome 'bible' for understanding every aspect of assessment in music education . . . In general the writing style is accessible - a real achievement with such a multi-faceted and complex topic. In the more theoretical sections, Fautley makes a real effort to simplify concepts to communicate them effectively to his readers . . . Assessment in Music Education is a well-referenced compendium of information on all aspects of the topic. Whether or not the present government decides to continue the current emphasis on assessment in the cloassroom, this will remain a standard work in the field. (Bette Gray-Fow, Classroom Music, Autumn 2010 )
Assessment in Music Education provides a detailed but very readable exploration of the theory and practice of assessment in the classroom, largely at Key Stage 3 . . . It is the most thoughtful exposition I know of teaching and learning in the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum, even if its conclusion is that, 'At present, it is not entirely clear what progression in music learning entails'. (James Garnett, Music Teacher magazine, May 2010 )

Product Description
Assessment in schools has become a hotly debated issue in education. In the wake of political pressures for accountability, educators have sought to defend the principle that assessment should serve the interests of learners and learning. With the aim of improving learning and raising standards, this book presents a case for formative assessment, day-by-day, rather than summative assessment at the end of key stages. The author draws on and discusses the practical application of a range of theoretical and philosophical research, encouraging a holistic approach and focused teacher-intervention. The book provides material for reflection as well as practical tips, and is suitable for instrumental and classroom teachers (at all levels, but particularly 11-18), and the academic community.

Format:Paperback
Anything with Martin Fautley's name on is worth reading. This book has plenty of detail on the pedagogy and theory as to the importance of assessment in Music. He spends a good deal of time arguing on the subject of WHAT to assess in Music. However, this is not a dry, theoretical text. It has plenty of practical, useful examples of how music educators can assess the right things and the right time.
