Working Score Study Into Your Busy Schedule by Christy Muncey, the United States Air Force Band

 This clinic presents a process of score study that arms music educators with a sequential process allowing for maximum score knowledge with a minimum amount of time. Because the process is sequential, as more time becomes available additional steps can be taken to gain a deeper understanding of the music.
