Publisher Desc.  Beginning with a reminder that music educators are not entertainers, Sally Herman has structured this text so that the reader will benefit instantly from a study of the first few pages and, furthermore, discover a continuum of methods which will "guarantee a higher level of performance." These words, quoted from Eph Ehly's foreword to the book, speak to the must-read status of this book and are sure to be echoed by all music educators who embrace its methods. We are confident that this book will be the kind that sits open on your desk and not collecting dust on your shelf.
