Draw n from the authors’ combined eighty years of experience in higher education and their mentorship of young colleagues, this book is a needed and comprehensive guide to thriving as an applied studio faculty member at the collegiate level.

From 1983 to 1993 he was a member of the music faculty of the Interlochen Arts Camp and is currently an adjunct instructor at Northwestern Michigan College and at the Interlochen Arts Academy.  What strikes me is how practical the information in each chapter is presented. There is simply no other source I know of which is so comprehensive and so helpful. Your chapters on how to set up the studio, how to develop a philosophy of teaching, and successful approaches to studio teaching are invaluable. Discussion about the probationary period and how to prepare for evaluation really hit the mark. What may be the most helpful part of the book are the appendices. Providing samples of successful application materials as well as other letters are so helpful. I also like the sample jury sheet and advising log. . . . If I were still dean, I would purchase your book for every new hire teaching private studio lessons. Congratulations on a very successful book. —Art Ostrander   Dean Emeritus of the Ithaca College School of Music.
