Teaching Concert band is a highly complex and involved job. It is the intent of this text to give the band director a straight forward, clearly written guide on how to be an effective teacher.

 

Part I of this manual, 15 Steps to a Better Band, addresses the content area, philosophy, and strategies needed to produce a superior sounding concert band.

 

Part II of the manual addresses issues off the podium. The Baton Can Wait discusses the problems and solutions for over forty three non music related areas such as discipline, order, and organization.
