A good resource with ideas mostly for private lesson instructors. Some of the content and ideas can be applied to a larger classroom.

A short and well structured book to assist music teachers in teaching beginners. It is filled with tips and tricks, particularly to avoid frustration from new music students.

A quick read, but useful.
