This clinic was conceived to help music education students, along with young band and orchestra directors, as they begin their job search. The ideas presented are practical in nature and revolve around "real world" situations that confront young candidates during their quest for not only obtaining a job, but retaining it. With many years in music education, Horn will offer a road map (from an insider's perspective) for the ever important journey of seeking employment.
