Excellence is not something stumbled upon by accident. You won't
achieve great things while flailing about in paperwork nor partake
of true musical artistry by folly. Success requires a concrete plan
of action: a big-picture plan followed by all the little details
that, together, create a complex mosaic that forms a beautiful and
intricxate picture of choral excellence. This practical text offers
a wealth of information for running a choral program. The two
successful veteran teachers offer advice for dozens of solutions to
issues facing the choral director. Includes a CD-ROM of bonus
material, an introduction by Paul Salamunovich, and these chapters:
