Meredith Music The Music Teacher's First Year - Tales of Challenge, Joy and Triumph

From a first-year teacher whose instruments were stolen before entering his building, to a teacher who received ˜hate mail' before her first day, to a teacher whose sensitivity, flexibility and insight gained her the respect of her ensemble in only weeks, this collection of true stories from first-year teachers is a delightful description of their real world. In addition, each chapter includes discussion questions for pre-service and young teachers as they prepare for their teaching future.
