New! – Upbeat! Mindset, Mindfulness, and Leadership in Music Education and Beyond by Dr. Matthew Arau. Forward by Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser.
#G-10550 – $43.50 – in stock.
Just as a conductor’s preparatory “upbeat” gesture at the beginning of a performance influences the way an ensemble plays, we too get to choose our “upbeat”—our thoughts and attitudes—at the start of each day, at the beginning of each class, and in our interactions with students and colleagues.
With this clever premise at its core, Upbeat! presents a winning combination of mindset and mindfulness strategies as well as leadership principles that will motivate, inspire, and transform not only your internal world but the culture of your music program.
With immediately applicable ideas and strategies that work for students, and teachers Upbeat! affirms the importance of living and working with intentionality and establishes that what we do, why we do it, and how we do it matters.
We are seeing some school divisions in Canada adopting Upbeat! for every music program within their system. Inspiring and powerful!
“…a must read for all who wish to become highly effective conductors and composers of their lives.” – Dr. Paula Crider, Texas.
“Rarely is there a book that captures the moment as well as Dr. Matthew Arau’s Upbeat!” – Scott Edgar, author of Music Ed and Social Emotional Learning.
“A deafening BRAVO!” – Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser
