This effort involved obtaining copyright approval for some material, as wellas redrawing or creating new content. This was a tedious activity undertaken prior to the surveyactivity. Based on the survey data and well as the focus groups, lecture material is of moderateimportance to the user community. In many cases, educators just plan to use their own lecturematerial or minimally use that resource. Therefore, time was spent creating material that was

However, the critical information about when to perform – tempo and its modifications, cuing and ensemble entrainment, and how to perform – interpretation of dynamics and changes of dynamics, attack and release variables, what we lump under the word "style," are communicated largely independent of demeanor and physical
