Please review these characteristics when choosing a band librarian. Thank you for reading my letter.Sincerely,Joe Student
What characteristics make a good student leader?
We look for characteristics and qualities that make great student leaders: responsible, dependable, musically proficient, respectful, respected, helpful, caring, selfless, giving, and devoted. The most important quality of a leader is the desire and ability to make others better. Regardless of personal talent, people who desire to help others will encourage younger students, build unity in the group, and be willing to assist the band director with any task.
