252: Q&A - If it ain't broke, why fix it?
We had a really interesting comment on YouTube this week, which boiled down to:
"Learning from notation, and the traditional teaching methods worked for me - so why should I change it? P.S. I'm offended that you're criticising what's worked for me and lots of others."
There is a LOT to unpack in this one! Here's my response.

251: Music: The Language Of Emotion (Meet The Team with Andrew Bishko, Head Educator)
Meet Musical U's Head Educator, Andrew Bishko and discover the fascinating musical background which produced his unique skillset and made him the perfect match for Musical U!
In this interview we dive into Andrew's musical background, featuring piano, flute (classical, jazz and Native American), reggae, Klezmer, mariachi and more. We hear how he gradually learned to play by ear and improvise, developing his own methods and techniques which he then began to teach his students.
Then, in a surprising and unlikely way, how he found his way onto the Musical U team, contributing in a content editing and member support before starting to create and oversee the development of new material inside Musical U membership, culminating in the Living Music and Next Level programs.
Andrew also shares three weird and surprising things which can have a big positive impact on your musical development.

249: Q&A - I'm getting no results from my ear training - should I give up?
We had a great question from @Lutemann on YouTube this week:
"So I wanted to be able to play on sax what I hear in my head. I wrote out 60 diatonic patterns (Example: 5, 4, 1, 7, 6, 8). Then I would pick a key and sing these patterns while fingering notes on the sax. I did this for a couple of months and got no results. Do you think I gave up too soon?"
Here's my answer.
