For students that are thinking about applying for a leadership position in the band next year, I strongly encourage you to check out the Conn-Selmer Division of Education leadership webinar on April 14 at 7 pm. The session will focus on what makes a great student leader in the band, including how to prepare for and fulfill the duties of selection to the leadership team. Dr. Tim and his team will also look at different ways of defining leadership in music and how to avoid some of the mistakes student leaders often make.

The session on May 12, will dive more deeply into what leadership is really all about – servant leadership – and will offer practical ways of strengthening effectiveness.
A session on June 9, will be a preview of the Big Event on June 17: The Student Leadership Track – the newest addition to the Conn-Selmer Institute.
In July and August—after the marching band season has begun and various leadership responsibilities are in full swing—the team will look back at previous training and put it into context with what the student leaders are doing in real-time.
In September and October, the sessions will explore a healthy approach to performance and competition. And to wrap up the season in November, leadership in the concert band setting will be discussed.
Each student session begins at 7:00 PM EDT and will contain 45 minutes of content-rich material with clear takeaways.

Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser has been a motivational speaker and leadership consultant for over 40 years and is in demand by businesses and corporations throughout the world. His first love has always been band and has a way of describing the role of student leaders in a way that is very entertaining and informative. I would suggest this to any student that wants to learn how to be a better leader in any facet of their life. The information you will learn is applicable to every career.
