Teaching Band and Chorus in the 21st Century

This practical, common-sense guide to efficiently running a choral or instrumental music program is enlightening in so many ways, beginning and veteran teachers alike will find it indispensable. It's 241 pages, divided into four sections: Your Students; Your Program; Your Place and Your Life. Every conceivable topic is covered, from classroom management, assessment, guest artists and extracurricular ensembles to concert planning, festivals and competitions, creating a budget, fundraising and grants. Each of the 28 chapters has these special features: a "Technology Tip"; a "What if?" question; a "Reality Check" and a "Blog entry." The writing itself is easy and fun to read because you know the authors are not only well qualified, but they are eager to share their knowledge and experience with you. Highly recommended!
