"An A Is Not Enough" and "Chester" - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    Why is an "A" not enough when performing music? This YouTube band video demonstrates how a piece of music sounds when it is played with only 90% or even 98% accuracy and how vitally important it is to strive for 100% when performing. This video may be a very useful tool for any music educator to teach students about the importance of always striving for the highest degree of excellence in music...and in life.
