This manual is designed as a supplemental resource for college methods classes, student teachers, new and veteran teachers alike.

The book includes developing lessons, preparing for concerts, planning your year, and classroom management, and passing out instruments. Teachers tend to be busy and often do not have time to read through pages of narrative, so these tips are written in outline form.
