You Never Hear This...
As a band conductor, I'm thankful for all the wonderful opportunities that this genre has provided. The love of "musicing", a term used by David Elliot in Music Matters, has affected almost every aspect of my life. I'll never forget the details of my beginner year in band. Mr. Robbins...
