Every Musician is told at some point that they need to practice. This advice may come from a teacher, band director, conductor, section leader, or from numerous other sources but how often are they told what to practice, and more importantly how to practice? In this article I would like to outline some hints and suggestions concerning the practice process.
Research Interests:
This article is intended to encourage band directors to organize their talented woodwind and brass students into chamber groups. There are several advantages to your band program to be gained from such a venture.
Research Interests: Engineering and Brass

of the strengths of the book is its dependence upon primary source materials, carefully documented, as the basis for constructing the history. I found the lack of footnotes disconcerting at first, but gradually came to accept Logan’s decision to place attribution information in the text itself or in an appendix. The readability is definitely enhanced by this approach and it is possible, though not necessarily easy, to identify the sources of quotations or to establish authority for questionable statements. As someone who spent over twenty years associated with the Indiana University School of Music, I found the book to be fascinating reading and believe Logan accomplished what he set out to do: explore the administrative decisions that led to the development of the school as it exists today. In many ways, he succeeds in capturing the essence of the institution, with its foibles and failures as well as its many triumphs, without deviating from an objective, dignified prose style that shows respect for the many individuals who contributed to the history. I would recommend the book highly for anyone interested in higher education in music in the United States.
