Great Practical Info for Music Teachers

This book does a great job of covering a wide range of topics that are especially relevant to the music teacher in an elementary school. It has lots of ideas on how to make many classroom procedures, such as passing out instruments and taking turns playing them, go more smoothly; ways to learn all your kids names, a particularly tough task for those of us who literally have hundreds of students; and dozens of other things that tend to get overlooked in music education courses. The author includes a lot of common-sense details on classroom procedures, such more effective use of visual aids, that a lot of us tend to overlook when planning our class time. The book, which is written in a very easy-to-read, conversational style, has the kind of real-life information that the average music education textbook doesn't discuss. I was able to make immediate use of many of the ideas I got from the book, and I found my music classes running a lot more smoothly as a result.
