“With their commitment to sharing ideas, resources, suggestions, struggles and successes, Burnaford, Aprill, and Weiss have written their remarkably comprehensive book with a refreshing spirit that manages to share their experience and expertise without ever giving the ipression that they have it all figured out….This book should be required reading for anyone who participates, or wishes to participate, in an arts education partnership.”
