Can you change the culture of your band by changing one student’s experience?
You may think changing your band’s culture is impossible, or that students just aren’t as motivated as they used to be. We are here to tell you that your instrumental instruction has a direct effect on your band’s culture. Every teachable interaction with your students is an opportunity to cultivate the culture you want in your band hall.
It all starts with improving one student’s experience at a time. And you, the teacher, hold the key.
Take the first step today and work directly with industry-leading performers. Check out our workshops below.
Saturday, December 12th - 1 PM CST
