Powerful Voices: The Musical and Social World of Collegiate a Cappella
by Joshua S. DuchanCollegiate a cappella, part of a long tradition of unaccompanied singing, is known to date back on American college campuses to at least the colonial era. Considered in the context of college glee clubs, barbershop quartets, early-twentieth-century vocal pop groups, doo-wop groups, and late-twentieth-century a cappella manifestations in pop music, collegiate a cappella is an extension of a very old tradition of close harmony singing---one that includes but also goes beyond the founding of the Yale Whiffenpoofs. Yet despite this important history, collegiate a cappella has until now never been the subject of scholarly examination. InPowerful Voices: The Musical and Social World of Collegiate A Cappella, Joshua S. Duchan offers the first thorough accounting of the music's history and reveals how the critical issues of sociability, gender, performance, and technology affect its music and experience. Just as importantly, Duchan provides a vital contribution to music scholarship more broadly, in several important ways: by expanding the small body of literature on choruses and amateur music; by addressing musical and social processes in a field where the vast majority of scholarship focuses on individuals and their products; and by highlighting a musical context long neglected by musicologists---the college campus. Ultimately,Powerful Voicesis a window on a world of amateur music that has begun to expand its reach internationally, carrying this uniquely American musical form to new global audiences, while playing an important role in the social, cultural, and musical education of countless singers over the last century.

Prachtige Pedagogiek: Inspiratie vanuit de Reggiopedagogiek
by Inge Van RijnDit boek geeft een frisse blik op het werken met jonge kinderen. De Reggiopedagogiek biedt een inspirerende visie die in het boek gekoppeld wordt aan de alledaagse praktijk van de hedendaagse Nederlandse kindcentra: kinderopvang, kleuteronderwijs en buitenschoolse opvang.Met praktijkvoorbeelden laat auteur Inge van Rijn zien hoe pedagogisch medewerkers en leerkrachten worden uitgedaagd om met de Reggiopedagogiek aan de slag te gaan. Daarbij staan verwondering en ontdekkend leren voorop. Verplichte knutsels en strakke methoden worden opzij gelegd en medewerkers gaan samen met de kinderen op avontuur om ‘honderd nieuwe werelden’ te ontdekken, te verzinnen en te dromen. Deze ervaringen uit de praktijk worden steeds gekoppeld aan zeven thema’s uit de Reggiopedagogiek. Voor begeleiders en opleiders biedt dit boek een overzichtelijke introductie in de Reggiopedagogiek, vol prachtige voorbeelden uit de Nederlandse praktijk. Bij ieder hoofdstuk staan vragen waar ze direct meeaan de slag kunnen in de teams en op de opleidingen. Inge van Rijn studeerde pedagogiek en werkte lange tijd als pedagoog in de kinderopvang. Daarnaast gaf ze scholing aan medewerkers van kindcentra. Als ‘schrijvende pedagoog’ publiceert ze over pedagogiek en jonge kinderen. In 2020 verscheen haar boek Pedagogiek in de vingers.
