MICHAEL FRANCIS SMITH
Educator, Composer, Songwriter
Author of It's Time to Play Series
Most band and string teachers struggle with student retention. It’s Time to Play engages every student in making music so they continue playing for life. Making music comes before, during, and after reading notation—it supersedes 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
