The School Musician Director And Teacher

The Band Director's Guide to Success is the ideal guide for preparing future band directors for the practical challenges and obstacles that they will face in the introductory years of their teaching careers. Written in an easy to understand, quick-reference guide format, this book is designed to be easily navigated as a series of case studies arranged by topic in concise, user-friendly chapters ranging from budgeting to classroom management to conflict resolution and beyond. This manual and career guide in one may be used as a supplemental text with suggestions and practical advice to spare new music teachers from many of the initial headaches and stress that often accompany the transition into the full-time teaching profession.

The New ASBDA Curriculum Guide has been revised, updated, and in many areas completely rewritten. Topics include: The Performance Based Curriculum, Evaluation Procedures, Scheduling, Classroom Management, Administering the Band Program, Organizing the Physical Complex, and Budget and Finance. It's a terrific reference book for university students in instrumental methods classes, the new band director instituting, revamping, or maintaining a program, the experienced director who needs to rewrite the band curriculum, and the choral (or other) director placed in a band situation.

(Meredith Music Resource). Conducting-listening skills, harmonic and melodic content, ensemble sonority and expressive conducting are only a few of the insightful topics included in Ed Lisk's latest publication. The complexities of instrumental music as related to Howard Gardner's Theories of Multiple Intelligences are thoroughly discussed and provide an overwhelming foundation for the support of music in the schools. From philosophy to practicality, this book has it all!

This updated second edition of A Practical Guide to Teaching Music in the Secondary School provides valuable support, guidance and creative new ideas for students and practising teachers who want to develop their music teaching practice. Written to accompany the successful textbook Learning to Teach Music in the Secondary School, it explores a range of current issues, developments and opportunities within music education. The book supports the reader in undertaking practical enquiries across the breadth of the subject to support their critical reflection and the development of their own context-relevant strategies and understandings. Key themes explored include the pedagogy of: • singing; • composing; • improvising; • performing; • responding; • musical literacy; • music and cross-curricular learning. Using practical examples and reflective activities, this book will help you critically examine ways in which you can place pupils at the centre of learning music. It is an invaluable resource for those involved in teaching music who are seeking to develop their practical and theoretical understanding, whether at a trainee or practising music teacher level.

(Meredith Music Resource). From a first-year teacher whose instruments were stolen before entering his building, to a teacher who received "hate mail" before her first day, to a teacher whose sensitivity, flexibility and insight gained her the respect of her ensemble in only weeks, this collection of true stories from first-year teachers is a delightful description of their real world. In addition, each chapter includes discussion questions for pre-service and young teachers as they prepare for their teaching future.
