Pathways is an unforgettable, insightful, and practical book that addresses such challenges. Musician and teacher Joseph Alsobrook explains how to meet the indispensable needs of music students while simultaneously enjoying a rewarding and meaningful career as a music educator. Combining the wisdom of multiple great minds, this book is divided into five major sections, each full of hands-on suggestions and each targeting an “essential gift” that all students need to receive. These gifts are the pathways that lead to musical and personal enrichment for students and teachers alike. Far from another “tricks of the trade” manual, Pathways is a unique collection of practical and creative options that will help you to set the mental, physical, and emotional stages for truly exceptional teaching and learning experiences. This guide is an inspirational resource for anyone committed to elevating student achievement.

One of the best books I’ve read on music education so far. Very insightful yet simple ideas to implement into the classroom. I’m sure I will revisit this book again and again to remind myself that music teachers need to do more than just teach music.

One of the best professional books I have read. Really made me thinking about lots of things in different ways. Even if you are a good teacher already doing these things, you would benefit from this book! I really was inspired to make a difference with my students after reading it.
