I had the delight of hearing Mr. Lisk speak at a workshop recently and his ideas will change your concept of teaching music in the public school! One reason for the success of his methods is the natural association with students' mental development. Instead of teaching music, he believes that all that needs to be done is to help a student discover their own musical intelligence (a la Howard Gardner). These techniques should prove to be a welcome addition in any middle or high school band room!

Excellent "beyond-the-note" book! Through logical examples, it demonstrates how teachers and students can be more creative in the expression of music. Lisk frequently refers to his book, "The Creative Director. Alternative Rehearsal Techniques."
Having read that book prior to "Intangibles" would make it even more practical.

I have purchased items thru Amazon for a long time and have always been happy. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with this orderfrom A1 Books. I ordered on the 6th of December, received confirmation on the 7th and on the 8th received an e-mailfrom A1 saying my book was mailed and on the way. After waiting and waiting I tried to call A1 Books only to find the only number they have is a fax which they did not answer. I had tried e-mailing them several times as well with no response. On the 20th of December I received an e-mail that my book was backordered and the next shipment should arrive in about 5 days. It was now way to late to order the book from someone else and this was my nephews Christmas gift from me. On the 24th of December I received and email that the book was no longer available and that my account would be credited. This is the middle of January and I am still waiting. I looked up the company with the small business bureau and found that this is their usual practice, telling people the book is on the way when they dont even have it in stock!! I understand that not everyone has everybook, but please dont tell me you have it and have sent it to me when this is not true!!!! As you can tell I will never buy from this company again and urge you not to either!!!!
