In this episode, we finish our conversation about choosing music for concert band with Dr. Barry Kraus and Dr. Ollie Liddell and also chat with Reggie Coleman about his experience as a young director. We hope you enjoy hearing about programming new works versus old standards, helping students become stronger musicians, balancing “correctness” with expression, the element of student choice in programming, helping students have high standards, where to look for selecting music, finding criteria to help the process, taking the time to deep dive into scores beforehand, annotating our TBA approved music list, using the Texas PML, and creating more professional development for young teachers on choosing music.
