This time of year, many music educators are preparing for a holiday or winter concert. Identifying and scheduling all the related tasks is a big endeavor. So much so that sometimes the performance preparation seems like the easy part!

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night, certain you’ve forgotten a crucial detail? If so, we can help.

To do so, we reached out to music educators across the country. We asked them about their experience with the process. What worked. What didn’t. And we’re sharing the results.

We’ve compiled a handful of great articles that can help you with your preparations, whether you’re new to this or a seasoned veteran. Included topics range from what to put in your checklist – and things to consider while programming, to ways to build community – and tips to prepare your students for the non-musical aspects of the concert.

There are even some suggestions on getting a printed program made quickly and easily.
