Dr. Greg LeFils, a music education professor at Stetson University, has recently published an article titled “Student Leadership: Building a Culture of Excellence” in the October 2023 issue of Teaching Music, a peer-reviewed journal of the National Association for Music Education.

The article explores how music educators can create a culture of excellence in their ensembles by developing student leaders who possess the qualities and skills needed to lead effectively. The article also offers a detailed guide to the selection, training, and evaluation of student leaders, as well as practical examples and tools for implementing student leadership in music education, such as leadership workshops, application packets, interviews, role-playing scenarios, and feedback mechanisms. Dr. LeFils’ article is a great resource for music educators who want to improve their teaching practice and create a positive learning environment for their students.

We congratulate Dr. LeFils on his achievement and contribution to the field of music education. You can read the full article here [https://digitaleditions.walsworth.com/publication/?m=61045&i=804018&p=30&pp=1&ver=html5].
