One of the best books I’ve read on music education so far. Very insightful yet simple ideas to implement into the classroom. I’m sure I will revisit this book again and again to remind myself that music teachers need to do more than just teach music.

One of the best professional books I have read. Really made me thinking about lots of things in different ways. Even if you are a good teacher already doing these things, you would benefit from this book! I really was inspired to make a difference with my students after reading it.
