New! Maximizing Student Performance: Student Music Journal – Wendy Barden
Seeking a resource to engage students in more meaningful performances in band, choir, and orchestra that is effective in both junior high or high school?
The Student Music Journal is perfectly-sized for easy storage in music folders and is designed to work for almost any ensemble and age. Based on best practices in the Maximizing Student Performance series, the Student Music Journal holds a year’s worth of prompts for students to analyze, interpret, evaluate, connect and reflect on the music they are rehearsing. Multiple opportunities in each task help students practice and develop each level of thinking. An accompanying Teacher Notes book gives considerations for effective use and grading. The Student Music Journal is brought to us from the fine people at Kjos, who also bring us Standard of Excellence and Tradition of Excellence, to name just a few.
The Student Music Journal comes as a Classroom Pack containing 25 student books and 1 teacher book – $44.95.
Individual student books are also available – $3.75 each.

Some light Mother’s Day humour.
Queried of a police recruit during an exam, “What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?”
He said, “Call for backup.”
“Asked to switch seats on the plane because she was sitting next to a crying baby. Apparently, that’s not allowed if the baby is yours.”
