A Handbook for Beginning Choral Educators

Front Cover
Indiana University Press, Jun 16, 2004 - Education - 145 pages

"This book comes from a very fine music educator with exceptional experience, who has common sense and a real understanding of what a beginning teacher should know. The book puts into print issues that are widely discussed at conventions and at conferences, and that are common knowledge for the experienced teacher, but that are not covered in a music education class. It is a plain and simple book, written in a language that is easy for anyone going into the profession to understand. It makes valuable suggestions in just about every aspect of the role of a choral music teacher." —Michael Schwartzkopf, Professor of Music Education, Indiana University School of Music
