Thanks everyone for the great advice!
At this point, I have been doing alomst all of my techinque training "by ear" for all of my students with great results. I've also had some students figuring out tunes by ear, which is alot of fun for both of us! Some students need/want more methodical work, which was were I was having my delima. I have/am working out of a number of the band books, and I just feel that they graze over too much and don't get up over the break soon enough, so I'm jumping around and writing out a ton of my own stuff...I'm just not totally comfortable with it.
Teaching has turned out to be almost more of a creative outlet for me that playing is, and after spending all that time and $$ getting 2 degrees in music, I never had any istruction in how to teach! I think it's a major downfall of most of our music institutions. (I got performance degrees) Since just about everyone in music teaches at some point!
Thanks again! I"m going to go check out these books, more advice is alway welcome!
