Title: Teaching Beginning Woodwinds
Description: Woodwind methods courses require future music educators not only to learn how to play unfamiliar instruments, methods courses must also help young teachers learn how to teach the instruments they are learning how to play. Playing and teaching require different skill sets, and both require practice to be effective. This book is the perfect supplement for instrumental methods courses because it covers -- in detail -- how to teach beginners to play flute, clarinet, and alto sax. Each section addresses the challenges and goals of the first 5 days of instruction for flute, clarinet, and saxophone. - Back cover.
