Music
That Matters
 Music
That Matters, 3rd Edition,
is a music appreciation textbook
geared towards young people (grades
6-12, ages 10-18). No prior
knowledge of music is necessary and
one does not need to read music to
follow this course of study that
begins in the medieval period and
runs right up to the year of
publication (2008), Pope Gregory the
Great to John Corigliano. The book
is available in two volumes for
easier classroom use, and a study
guide and three-volume CD set of
listening examples are also
available separately, as is a CD-ROM
of 40 PowerPoint slideshows meant to
assist teachers in presenting each
of the chapters to students. Click HERE

The
Tao of Conducting
.jpg) Inspired
by some of his great teachers, his
own explorations into Taoism and
other eastern philosophies, and
three of his favorite books (Lao
Tzu's Tao Te Ching, John
Heider's The Tao of Leadership,
and Diane Dreher's The Tao of
Personal Leadership), Maestro
Huff is writing his own practical
application of Taoist philosophy, The
Tao of Conducting.
An adaptation of Lao
Tzu's Tao Te Ching with
musical analogies, examples, and
real-life examples of applications
in rehearsal and performance, The
Tao of Conducting
will be available in fall
2010.
