Here are solid and exciting solutions to the challenges of running an effective school music programme, suggestions on how to motivate students to grow as musicians, and ways to retain students.

Offering his wisdom with hands-on suggestions for practical and creative teaching methods, Alsobrook shows teachers how to build a music program filled with dedicated students and backed by a loyal community.
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.
