Play It from the Heart

by J. Steven Moore, MENC, the National Association for Music Education (U.S.) Staff

Former students often thank their music teachers for what they were taught about music and about life. Play it from the Heart uses stories and concepts from music education as models for success. Making music together requires exceptional cooperation, and ensembles are the ultimate cooperative organizations. J. Steven Moore relates what he and his students have learned about excellence, leadership, responsibility, cooperation, and passion from being in the band. Calling on personal experience, student feedback, and resources ranging from Tim Lautzenheiser to Mahatma Gandhi, Moore shares the lessons of playing from the heart.--James Curnow, composer, conductor, and music educator "American Music Teacher"

I finished this quite a while ago but apparently forgot to review it. A wonderful, uplifting collection of stories from the life of one of our greatest music educators.
