The learning one obtains as part of a master's program can be so important. Scott McKee's father Max McKee developed the American Band College program (known by many as ABC) many years ago. In addition to an affordable master's degree, ABC offers many resources to help band directors. The 3 year master's features 25 faculty each year - names such as Doc Severinsen and Eugene Rousseau - so students experience 75 teachers in their three years. Find the resources and more info about the program at www.bandworld.org.  - See more at: http://www.themusicedpodcast.com/the_music_ed_podcast/episode_32_interview_with_scott_mckee_why_a_masters_degree_can_be_important_part_2/#sthash.jGi21CTL.dpuf
