I am embarrassed to say that it has been over a year since I wrote a “Percussion Education Reads” blog post. I don’t want to make an excuse for not posting. Instead, I want to post some of the things I have read that have made a lasting impression. For the remainder of the year, my goal is to post two “Percussion Education Reads.” If you have something that you enjoyed reading, please forward it to me and I will check it out. I hope everyone is well!

The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever by Michael Bungay Stanier
I read this book with the PAS Summer Book Club led by Oliver Molina. I had never done a bookclub before and I was glad to have the opportunity to join this one and read this book. It is broken into 7 sections and each section poses a coaching question. I think this is an excellent book and definitely one I would recommend to educators.
