making music making more passionate September 20, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I first read this book when a band director friend loaned it to me and I was instantly blown away by how easy to read it was and by just how fascinating it was at the same time, Now I am in my first year teaching band and choir and by reading this book I have a lot to think about daily. This book definately helped me and I recomend it to anyone in the music field as a way of energizing not only your students but also yourself.
If you can do what this man teachs--wow! January 16, 2005

I just returned from a concert conducted by Peter Boonshaft. It was an all-county band concert (high-school aged musicians chosen for participation through an audition process) where roughly 125 students meet and work with a guest conductor for three days then present four or five pieces in-concert. (Henrico County, VA)
Wow. I have seen plenty of student concerts in the years my son has participated in our county's first-class music program, but, from the moment Boonshaft raised his baton, I knew I was witnessing something extraordinary.
If this book helps you communicate ten percent as effectively as Dr. Boonshaft communicated with these students and this audience, it is well worth twice the price. The students were truly, truly inspired and the audience was simply spellbound. Three standing ovations later, I realized I had witnessed a rare professional who is so confident about what he does that he transends self and is able to help those around him to experience his passion themselves--amazing.
The Book I Always Wanted. November 9, 2003

This is the book I always wanted to find. I have taught music for years and this is a book that blends inspiration with ideas to try. I love this book. I wish I had it when I first started teaching, but I am so glad I have it now. Read it and you will never forget it! It is simply a perfect book.
Great Book! November 8, 2003

This is a great book! I was told to buy it by three friends who are choir directors. They said it was a really great book. They were right!! It is so well written, and the ideas presented worked so well when I tried them in rehearsals. My students saw a difference almost immediately. The best thing about the book is that it is positive. I feel better about teaching, and am a better teacher every time I read a part of the book. My friends were right, this is a great book. Every music teacher should read it!
Every Music Teacher NEEDS to read this November 7, 2003

Teaching music with passion was the just the pick-me up I needed. If you're even considering this book, chances are you're a music educator that is spread a bit to thin but loves their "kids" (even when you don't always like them..)After reading this book I have vowed to read it every March, when june seems oh so far away and april vacation is but a distant memory. Teaching music with passion is filled with awesome practical information some of which served as a great refresher course and some that inspired me to try new things with my high school band. It's also filled with countless anticdotes that entertain but most importantly tell a story that is likely to remind you how much you love teaching and why you chose this profession in the first place.
