If you are feeling overwhelmed by the logistics of your job, you are in luck- there is an app for that! Actually, a lot of apps. And Digital Organization Tips for Music Teachers is here to tell you all about them. Every teacher has something to gain from this book.

Each chapter covers a different type of data that music teachers have to organize, ranging from notes, to tasks, to scores and audio recordings. Music teachers have it too hard to ignore modern technology but too little time to invest in software that requires a degree to understand. The technology in this book is so simple to grasp the basics of, you will be able to jump right in and start putting these tips into practice at every page turn.

Reviews for Digital Organization Tips for Music Teachers
Digital Organization Tips for Music Teachers describes one music teacher's adventures in search of time-saving, useful, and organizational technologies. Robby Burns tries out and describes a wide range of tools to help him keep on top of a busy schedule and engage his students in many aspects of music learning.
Ella Wilcox, Music Educators Journal, National Association for Music Education (NAfME) This book will help you make technology trends work for you instead of against you in your music classroom. Burns guides the reader through every tech aspect facing the modern music teacher and gives best practices and tips specific to leading bands, choirs and general music courses.
Will Kuhn, Music Teacher, Lebanon High School Robby Burns merges his instrumental music teaching experience and vast knowledge of digital tools to provide information that helps new and seasoned directors better organize their professional lives. Burns delivers well-researched and practiced ideas that allow you to 'automate everything' from taking notes to scheduling performances; from scanning musical scores to managing audio, images, and videos. Burns is not shy about recommending his favorite apps and admittedly has a preference for Apple products, though as someone who uses Android devices I found plenty of helpful solutions to everyday organizational issues. The book is easy to read and full of personal examples. I will recommend this book to all of my graduate and undergraduate music education students.
