Managing Stress in Music Education

H. Christian II, Bernhard · 2020
77/100
👍 Worth It

This is a narrow book for a specific audience — but for that audience it is exactly right. A Routledge academic series, a professor with a genuine peer-reviewed publication record on music educator burnout, and vignettes from real teachers make this far more credible than most occupational wellness titles. If you teach music and are feeling the grind, this is the most directly relevant resource you are likely to find.
