Review: Thorough, Practical Text - Steve Holley shares invaluable wisdom from years of experience in his book, Coaching a Popular Music Ensemble. As a high school music teacher working with students in popular music ensembles, I have never found a text that was so exhaustive and easily applicable. He provides important technical information (type of sound equipment to purchase, how loud is too loud in your practice space, etc.) while also sharing the more nuanced advice on how to guide musicians to refine their musicianship and develop autonomy. This book is great for new teachers looking to implement more popular music making into their music programs, or for seasoned veterans looking for new strategies to work with a wide variety of students. Great read!
Review: Great advice from someone who walks the talk. - This is a great resource for band directors and those looking to organize musical ensembles that go beyond the limitations of the traditional school jazz band. This text brings both up to date ideas and a wealth of practical knowledge, written by someone who has a lot of experience in this area. Recommended!
