Directors,
Those wishing to do homework for the profession, here are some thoughts:
1. Check out the links on the main page (and forums/videos), remember that the pdf's are "stacks" and after looking through the stacks, decide if you have a better or complimentary handout and upload it. It will be added to the stack for everyone's use.
2. Shop for new literature by visiting both the collaborative lists and the composer pages on the network. Ask the composers for program notes and insight to their pieces as you listen to their music!
3. Upload your handbook to the forums to share with all. Comparative research.
4. Upload some professional pictures of your program.
5. Invite some more professional music educators to join the network.
6. If you use one the videos with your students, rate it and upload materials to go with it.
7. Interact and use MSBandDirector.com as your professional "facebook."
8. Create helpful videos that you teach with. Share them with the membership to use, if you like.
9. Set MSBandDirector.com as your browsers homepage at school.
10. Take the time to organize your top 10 literature lists for each music category and upload these to the forums. This will take time, but is what all directors can do to insure great programs Worldwide.
