Intended for college instrumental music education majors studying to be band and orchestra directors at the elementary, middle school or high school level. �This textbook presents an extensive look at the topics most vital to running a successful instrumental music program, balancing musical, theoretical, and practical approaches. �A central theme is the compelling parallel between language and music, including "sound-to-symbol" pedagogies. �Understanding this connection improves the teaching of melody, rhythm, composition, and improvisation. �An enclosed CD contains over 50 tracks of acoustically pure drones and demonstration exercises for use in rehearsals, sectionals and lessons.
