About the Author :
Ronald E. Kearns is a highly respected teacher, performer, clinician and author. Quick Reference for Band Directors Who Teach Orchestra is his third book written as a textbook and professional development book for music educators.

Review :

A high recommended resource and guide for both new string educators and band directors with little or no prior experience teaching orchestra. Mr. Kearns draws on his extensive experience as an educator, performer, and clinician to offer practical tips to help educators organize and administrate a successful orchestra program.



John Stevenson

President, Maryland Band Directors Association

Band directors who find themselves teaching orchestra classes for the first time might feel trepidation as they approach their new role. This book will put their minds at ease as Mr. Kearns makes connections between band and orchestra pedagogy. Teachers can use the orchestra specific references to pave their way to develop a great program!
