Description
Summary:	Among the more traditional content in Holt and Jordan's book, the three chapters contributed by Kenneth Raessler - chapter 2, "The History of Choral Music in the United States" (pp. 43-63); chapter 3, "Designing and Scheduling the School Choral Program" (pp. 65-87); and chapter 13, "Choral Music Educators as Communicators" (pp. 299-317) - are outstanding syntheses of essential information and should be required reading for every choral music educator. [...] Holt and Jordan's book reflects the need for published resources with an approach toward practitioner-led education in congruence with contemporary trends and established paradigms of excellence.
