About this book

The Balanced Band Director is a reflective and instructional handbook aimed at music educators who juggle the demands of teaching and personal well-being. 

Written by Lesley Moffat, The Balanced Band Director follows the success of her previous work, offering a lesson plan for thriving in the modern music classroom. This essential resource tackles the crucial aspect of setting boundaries for a balanced life, leveraging community support, and identifying and reaching goals for a successful music program. It imparts the wisdom of turning work into an act of love, dealing with inevitable challenging days, and the transformative power of feeling good in teaching. 

Moffat emphasizes the importance of the teacher's physical state as a mirror of mental well-being and promotes trusting one's instincts in professional scenarios. With a mentorship tone, it guides music educators through creating a positive and focused classroom environment, underscoring the intrinsic link between reduced stress and improved educational outcomes. Unique in its approach, The Balanced Band Director addresses the intersection of music education and emotional intelligence, offering strategies to enhance both teacher and student experiences in a world of increasing distractions and pressures.
