“So often we don't look at the whole child when we educate them, whether in school or private lessons, and THIS BOOK GETS TO THAT ASPECT.  We find more often than not, that students don't have an adult who works through emotions and feelings with them and, especially in music, THESE ARE GREAT STRATEGIES to use with students.  Performance is so personal and so it's important for students to understand what their mind, body and soul are experiencing through practice and performance.”
