    6 AUG

    Episode 180 - Dr. Stephanie Robertson - The Psychology of Directing Choral Music and Mental Health [part 2] (An A&C Curated Episode)

    Earlier this year we started a little mini-series on avoiding burnout thanks to feedback we are hearing as part of ACDA’s Advocacy and Collaboration Standing Committee. The goal of these episodes is to provide our members and listeners with tools to avoid and overcome burnout - one of the leading causes to folks leaving our fabulous career. Part one, we talked about how to guard your time throughout different stages of your career. We continue that conversation in this episode, part two of two, where you’ll hear from Dr. Stephanie Robertson. We talk about the many tools and resources you can employ to manage your mental health - can’t wait to see which technique or tool you end up using to power through the fall! Stephanie Robertson, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Child Center for Wellbeing at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. She has worked in public schools, non-profit institutions, and higher education for over fifteen years, with a focus on the wellbeing and healthy development of children. She researches the impact of invisible disabilities and student access to education at secondary and post-secondary levels. Her husband, Troy Robertson, PhD, is the Director of Choirs at Tarleton. He conducts Tarleton’s five choral ensembles, teaches conducting and choral methods, and supervises clinical teachers. He is also a composer whose works are published with Hinshaw Music, Santa Barbara Music Press, Colla Voce, and Music Spoke. They make their home in Stephenville with their ten-year-old son, Winton.Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8lgoFPv3tAE The Music (ed) Matters Podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Perform International.

    Episode 179 - Carolyn Sloan - Welcome to the Opera… and more!

    Do you read to your singers? Are you a singer who likes to read? I love the series Carolyn Sloan has created which brings the orchestra and opera to folks in a fun, easy to read book with fabulous drawings and….it’s one of those books that comes with it’s own music on the side… I LOVE THOSE! My “survey of performance” class loved when I read them the book on opera! But this episode isn’t just about the book…In this episode, Carolyn shares some incredibly motivational and inspirational words and I left the conversation so uplifted and excited to share it with the world! Arts folks, especially recent grads, this is a must listen. Can’t wait to hear what you think! Check out this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dHeClYATlB8 The Music (ed) Matters Podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Perform International.

    BONUS #25 - Rebroadcast of TONY award winner for BEST MUSICAL: Cristina Vivenzio - Broadway Producer for "The Outsiders"

    With the 77th Tonys airing last night, we couldn't be more stoked for recent Music (ed) Matters guest, Cristina Vivenzio, a producer whose show just won the Tony for Best Musical (and Best Director and Best Lighting Design)! Not just any show, this one is based off of the well loved and still taught book, “The Outsiders.” If you haven’t downloaded the cast album, my fav song is “Great Expectations,” but you'll love the entire set, so do that right after listening to the rebroadcast of this awesome conversation. In this episode, Cristina shares how an idea goes from thought to a stage on Broadway…one of the many ways this dream can become a reality. Along the way, Cristina shares tips, encouragement, and just a lot of cool insight for what is looking like the next big show in NYC! Find out more by jumping back to Episode 176 :)
