Abstract
Description
Shand describes the work of the John Adaskin Project in commissioning new music for student performers and classroom use, beginning in the 1960s. In her role as Adaskin Project Director Shand has overseen and facilitated the commissioning of many new works, through the Adaskin Project and through other organizations like Music Educators’ Associations, as well as at the request of individual teachers. She discusses some of the many benefits that can be reaped from composer-in-the-classroom interactions, and lists some of the useful and enjoyable music that has resulted.
