Hey #BandDirectors
Do you perform jazz music with your Concert Bands/ Wind Ensembles?
That’s the plan this year - young musicians love the genre + we get to improvise! Can’t wait to hear the melodies bandies create.

An exit slip for Circle Day leaders and list of reflection questions - still being edited
This summer I’m writing.
I’ve wanted to create a comprehensive resource about Circle Days for a long time.
Young musicians’ become more fully engaged: listening, providing feedback,+ becoming proactive leaders.
And…it’s fun.
Book? Workshop? Website?
We shall see!

2 x 4-drawer cabinets.
100s of scores.
Chaos no more!
Finally tackled the band library with my awesome student librarians—everything now sorted by grade level (even jazz + holiday sets).
No more digging through dust to find the right piece!
Woot! Woot!

What would YOU include in a band website or handbook?
Pls comment your must-haves! ⬇️
