This invaluable aid to parents offers information on how to obtain FREE or low priced instruments through the schools, instrument care & repair & much more. It gives teachers a lesson outline to follow & serves as printed reinforcement that they can recommend to students & parents to supplement lesson books. Dr. James M. Thurmond, founder of the U. S. Armed Forces School of Music & Prof. Emeritus Lebanon Valley College says, "...the book delineates everything from the correct approaches to parent-music-teacher relations to methods of teaching, purchase & care of instruments, music department organization, etc. for music students & their parents to know....its study will be beneficial for those who are committed to the support of the teaching of music in our educational institutions."
