Reviews"As ever, Eric combines his unique insights into the arts and education, his profound commitment to improving the teaching of the arts in this country, his intellect, his humor-and, in this case, his wonderful writing-to produce a book that stands a very good chance of, yes, becoming a bible for many in music education."- Steven Seidel, Director of Harvard Project Zero, Director of Arts Education Program at Harvard Graduate School of Education "The surge of interest in teaching artistry, along with the realization of its urgent need, has affected many of us deeply, and certainly myself as a performing and composing musician. Having had the good fortune to be energized and inspired by Eric Booth several times in and around Lincoln Center, I now welcome this elegant and informative distillation of his ideas and experiences in The Music Teaching Artist's Bible. Like a bible, it is a compilation of helpful hints to be carried around with one as one goes through the important work of one's life." - Jon Deak, Composer, Associate Principal Bass, New York Philharmonic "The Music Teaching Artist's Bible fills a gap in the arts learning field, providing the first foundation book for the burgeoning field of teaching artists. Both the arts and education need more and better teaching artists, and teaching artists need this book. Eric Booth is the nation's leading authority on the subject, and his writing is as lively as a teaching artist's workshop."- Robert Lynch, Americans for the Arts, President and CEO "This book is a must-read for any musician who wants to be a Teaching Artist, or who is curious about how to be more effective in this growing field. Eric Booth, with decades of experience as a teaching artist himself and as a pioneer in teaching artist professional development, is the only person who could have written this pivotal work. It belongs in every musician's, every conservatory's, every teaching artist's library."- Barbara Shepherd, Director of National Partnerships, The Kennedy Center, Education Department "In The Music Teaching Artist's Bible Eric Booth has given us a humane, inspirational, and practical handbook for artists who teach; more importantly, his insights provide a pathway to revitalized, fully-engaged, 21st-century musicianship."- Bill Ivey is the Director of the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy at Vanderbilt University, Former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts "This is an engaging provocative, and practical book: engaging in its style, provocative in its ideas, practical in its guidance to teachers, whatever their art form or discipline. Just what those of us who have experienced the teaching artistry of Eric Booth expect and admire. He's taught us all."- Richard Deasy, Director, Arts Education Partnership "Even for those who don't set out to be a teacher, the fact is that every artist is, in fact, a teacher. So go ahead and embrace your Inner Teacher and read this practical, yet oh-so-inspirational book. There is no question that the ideas Eric Booth has to share will make you a more effective teacher and a better artist!"- Ann Meier Baker, President and CEO, Chorus America "Eric Booth's wisdom and practical advice for teaching artists will have resonance for every instructor. The Music Teaching Artist's Bible offers a comprehensive definition of the role of an artist in connecting listeners to music of all types. Going even further, Booth inspires reflection on what it means to be an audience member and, more broadly, a learner in a world filled with artistic experiences waiting to be discovered."- Marc Scorca, President and CEO, Opera America "Eric Booth is the Master Teaching Artist himself. His visionary, provocative and truly useful book explores the profound connections between art and learning. For any reader, music teaching artist or not, this is an always engaging, often surprising and ever challenging read. My father, Leonard Bernstein, would
