Summary
Graduate students know what to teach when they begin teaching undergraduates, but often they do not know how to teach it. This book is designed specifically to help them to teach undergraduates (both music- and non-music majors). It covers all aspects of the process from the first class taught through obtaining tenure and promotion.
