Yes, Jen, it was a great book. For everyone else out there, it is easy to read, definitely pertains to IB, and you will find "IB words and ideas" jumping out at you all through the book. If nothing, else, try to take a look at some of the examples and charts. They are useful even to someone like me, who only teaches middle school off and on. There were no music examples (alas), but there are still good ideas. And, after all, we are teaching skills and knowledge that "transfers"!
