New textbook with help for Concert Band Directors
By kevin | July 9, 2009
I’ve just been lucky enough to find a new textbook written for concert band directors. I haven’t done a lot of concert band conducting, but the little I did do I know what a challenge it is!
This brand new text was written specifically for the college professor, classroom teacher or student, and it is a practical, easy to understand manual for effective concert band instruction.
Teaching concert band is a highly complex and involved job. It is the intent of this of the text to give the band director a straight forward, clearly written guide on how to be an effective teacher.
Part I of the manual, 15 Steps To A Better Band, addresses the content area, philosophy and strategies needed to produce a superior sounding concert band. Part II of the manual will address issues off the podium. The Baton Can Wait discusses the problems and solutions for over 43 non music related areas such as discipline, order and organization.
The author says:
“You can make a difference in the lives of your students, but you must have the tools necessary to accomplish this. Making quality music is a difficult and complicated job, and this text will help you achieve your musical goals.”
Mr. Robert Jackson has been teaching band and instrumental music for 30 years at the middle and high school levels. He has devoted his entire career to developing stratagies for maximizing teacher effectiveness and achieving high student achievement.
