Title: Excellent resource for young teachers
Review: Though I haven’t read the book in its entirety, the chapters I have read have so far proved to be an excellent resource for a beginning music teacher. I will be teaching hopefully next year and I am still apprehensive; this book has given me many great suggestions and I highly recommend this book to any future music educators.

Title: A tremendous help
Review: This book has become my bible in helping me to be a better band director. Incredibly helpful book. There isn’t a focus on how to conduct rehearsals efficiently, but I don’t know where I would be now as a Band Director without this book, I highly recommend it!

Title: Informative
Review: This book is very informative. It does come off as a textbook with questions at the end of each chapter for an education course but it still has helpful information for the “newbie” teacher. It leans more towards band but still has useful resources for the orchestra classroom.
