Especially helpful are the example scenarios and questions for teachers scattered throughout the book, as well as sample responses for each.\n\nWhile teaching music in a low-income and high-needs area has its challenges, the rewards and impact for students, teachers, and the community are life-giving and everlasting. High Needs, Monumental Successes keeps the best interest of the students at its core, equipping teachers with the tools they need to better understand and serve all members of their band, orchestra, choir, and general music programs.\n\nDon Stinson is the director of bands at Joliet Central High School in Illinois, only the fifth director in the band’s 110-year history. He holds degrees in music education from Joliet Junior College, VanderCook College of Music, Northern Illinois University, and a master’s degree in education administration from the University of St. Francis.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e    GIA Music ED\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDifficulty Level:\u003c\/b\u003e    0\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e    336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem No:\u003c\/b\u003e    G-10350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cfont size=\"1\"\u003ePrices and product availability are subject to change without notice.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"GIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46103058055359,"sku":"GIA G10350 9781622775965","price":25.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1335\/9063\/files\/210727ed0e2351d4d65dd0f0fddf85bce0792f.png?v=1787870991","url":"https:\/\/www.imaginethismusic.com\/products\/gia-g-10350","provider":"Imagine This Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
