Notes:

"Go On, Tell Your Story! is a powerful collection of real-life stories told by trailblazing women band directors of varied experiences and identities about the world of professional music and conducting. Poignant, funny, sad, and uplifting, these stories offer a unique perspective into the challenging and rewarding world of music education and performance, inviting readers to listen and grow with each vignette. The stories in the book are organized by theme into four sections -- Pride, Affirmation, Togetherness, and Happiness -- and readers are encouraged to use the book as more of a handbook than a front-to-back read. Along with stories, the book also includes affirmational quotes, a playlist of inspirational songs, and space for readers to reflect. With the goal of building true support, community, and understanding, GO ON, Tell Your Story! is a wonderful companion for all musicians and educators as they grow in their lives and careers." --"This book may contain sensitive content for the reader.
