MICHAEL FRANCIS SMITH
Educator, Composer, Songwriter Author of It's Time to Play Series Band, Strings, Recorder and Ukulele
Most instrumental teachers struggle with engagement and student retention. By engaging every student in making music through a multisensory approach—singing, playing, improvising, and creating—they continue playing and making music for life. Making music comes before, during, and after reading notation!
"I am thrilled to endorse this innovative beginning band method book “It’s Time to Play,” which seamlessly integrates singing, playing, and solfege as the foundation for all pieces learned. The concept is brilliant, and the students absolutely love it. This is the book we've been waiting for! Highly recommended!"
- Stacey Faris, General Music/Grades 4-5 Instrumental Teacher
