In high school, I acted in school musicals, played in the band, directed the marching band as drum major, and was a member of the choir (of which my own mother was director, something that she swears wasn't on purpose).

Of course, I utilize other method books as well as working on specific works by composers depending on what kind of music the students likes. Read More
