A Band Director's First Years is a guide for collegiate level students or new educators in their first jobs. Aimed primarily at Band Directors, this book can potentially help performing arts teachers in school systems nationwide. Graduates of collegiate music education studies are very well prepared to offer instruction to their charges, however, there are many different challenges that new music educators must face. Many of these challenges are non-musical and, often times, new educators struggle to adapt because they do not know what questions to ask or how to move through their days performing tasks other than teaching. For example, making logistical arrangements for performances or what accounting practices may be encountered in a public school system are just two of the many topics covered in this book. A Band Director's First Years is a book that can be read from cover to cover or as a reference guide. In either case, the reader will be able to utilize the information in a practical manner or, at the very least, develop and maintain a functional knowledge of what is taking place around him or her.
