Abstract How can you select the best possible method for your students? What should you be looking for when selecting music for your group to perform? What can you do to make the most productive use of rehearsal time? This book helps answer those questions. It contains guidelines and ready-to-use assessment devices to evaluate rehearsals, lessons, performances, public relations, and take swift corrective action if any weaknesses are detected. Part 1 covers how to organize, administer, and improve every aspect of a music program, from book and music selection to budget compliance. Each topic is cross-referenced to one of the many evaluation tools found in Part 2, which offers a 7-step system--complete with observation forms, charts, and checklists--that make it easy to conduct an on-paper evaluation of every topic covered in Part 1.
