Traits and Characteristics of a Successful Secondary Music Teacher

Clinic Synopsis:

This is a presentation that covers the non-musical skills a secondary music teacher needs to be effective. Connecting with and being able to inspire the students, parents and community is critical. Having spent my entire 41 year career in rural Indiana we believe our success and the longevity of the program is only due to our ability to reach our "audience" and inspire them to work and perform at a high level.
