This
book contains collective
insights from some of the
most inspirational high
school orchestra
directors in the United
States. They reveal their
ideas on rehearsal
philosophy, rehearsal
preparation, warm-up
strategies, favorite
repertoire, tone/bow
control, intonation,
articulation, expression,
online instruction,
recruiting and building
community. Each of their
stories is as unique as
the individual strategies
and approaches they
share. You will surely be
inspired by their ideas,
approaches, and
strategies presented in
Rehearsing the High
School Orchestra. I know
the most joy in my life
has come from my violin.

not final, failure is not
fatal, it is the courage
to continue that counts.

—David Eccles, The
Lovett School, Atlanta,
Georgia I want every
student who comes through
my door to enjoy and see
the value of music.

Without music, life would
be a mistake. (Friedrich
Nietzsche) —Cathie
Hudnall, Norcross High
School, Norcross, Georgia
To make a resolution and
act accordingly is to
live with hope. There may
be difficulties and
hardships, but not
disappointment or despair
if you follow the path
steadily. Do not rest in
your efforts, without
stopping, without haste,
carefully taking a step
at a time forward will
surely get you there.

Orchestra class teaches
so much more than how to
play a stringed
instrument. We learn
valuable life skills in

”Opportunity,
Responsibility,
Concentration, Honesty,
Effort, Self-Discipline,
Trust, Respect, and
Attitude. —Charles
Laux, Alpharetta High
School, Alpharetta,
Georgia I teach
excellence and the
commitment it takes to be
excellent. Music is the
discipline that I use to
teach this. While music
is a beautiful artform,
the subject matter is
never more important than
the subject itself.
—Kirt Mosier, Youth
Symphony of Kansas City,
Kansas City, Missouri You
are the music while the
music lasts. (T. S.
Eliot) —Kirk Moss,
University of
Northwestern—St. Paul,
Roseville, Minnesota The
job of teaching is less
about feeding information
to students, and more
about making them hungry.
—Christopher Selby,
School of the Arts,
Charleston, South
Carolina High achievement
always takes place within
the framework of high
expectations. (Charles
