An Understandable Approach to Musical Expression

If you teach instrumental music, you will want to have this practical book in your library!  Dr. Laudermilch presents the basic principles of musicianship in a clear, concise manner, and in small enough doses that they can easily be put into practice.  The 22 concepts covered in the book ask the performer to focus on aspects of the melodic line such as accents, interpretation of notes, intensity, phrasing and note grouping.  Any of the concepts covered would translate into a fine "teaching moment" in both private lesson and group rehearsal settings.
