BOOKS FOR BAND DIRECTORS
Teaching Rhythm (New Strategies and
Techniques for Success)—David Newell.
Here is a unique, innovative, and comprehensive
textbook devoted exclusively to the teaching
of rhythm. This book presents traditional as
well as nontraditional 21st century outside-
the-box concepts and strategies relative to
the teaching of rhythm. There are five main
parts to the book, which focus on: introducing
students to the performance of rhythms; a
look at the The Whole Note System; other
counting systems and their effective uses in
the classroom; compound meter; and irregular
and mixed meters. All music teachers, whether
band, orchestra, or choir directors, classroom
music teachers, or private studio teachers,
must deal with the problems inherent in getting
students to first perform and then to understand
rhythms. Rhythmic independence is one of the
most important skills for students to master;
this book will be an invaluable resource for all
music educators.

The Transposed Musician (Teaching
Universal Skills to Improve Performance
and Benefit Life)—Dylan Savage. Music
teachers know their students don't just learn to
play music; they are also exposed to universal
life skills along the way. But that's just part of
the story. Currently, most students are largely
left to learn these universal skills - like problem
solving, patience, focus, collaboration, critical
thinking, creativity, and communication - on their
own and often not very effectively. This text is
a practical guide to teaching these universal
skills within the context of a traditional music
lesson, music class, or ensemble performance.
The results not only empower students to better
confront the challenges of the 21st century,
they significantly improve musicianship. With
practical examples and clear writing, this book
is for music educators wishing to help their
students become not only better musicians but
better-equipped citizens of the world.
