Hip Hop music has become one of the most powerful and popular music genres in the world, with rap being written and performed in multiple languages. Throughout Hip Hop's 50-plus year history, Music education has struggled to keep up with how to effectively teach and appreciate its musical complexities.

The first edition of Rappin'-The-Classroom successfully equipped Secondary and College level educators with the tools and techniques to teach and develop this vocal art form. The Primary Edition provides the same tools, techniques, cultural and historical contexts, but with a clear focus on developing internal rhythm, oral dexterity, large group work and most importantly, fun!
With over 30 years' varied experience within the musical profession (composer, classical music graduate, bandleader, cathedral chorister, hip hop emcee, jazz musician, orchestral musician, conductor, producer, musical theatre director, peripatetic tutor, (saxophone and clarinet) and being head of music in three secondary institutions, Francis Winston has been able to provide an invaluable framework for music education. This will help revolutionise not only the way this art form is viewed from conservatoires down to primary education, but also the way young people see this art form as a vehicle for lifelong learning, personal development and change.

With this book you will never again feel out of your depth in the field of rap and Hip Hop music.
