Thanks to Dylan and Cait’s brilliant musical minds, this podcast is a HUGELY wonderful and valuable contribution to our community. Along with the many wonderful guests they bring in, they discuss all sorts of interesting and thought-provoking musical topics and do so with such an engaging sense of energy, humor, and positivity. If you’re into band music at all, this is 100% the podcast for you to listen to. If you’re *not* into band music at all, this is still 100% the podcast for you to listen to. It’s that good!!!
A pedagogical great resource!
Love the podcast! As a almost first year teacher I love hearing from people who have “done the thing” for many years now. Also greatly love being exposed to new repertoire. As a born and raised Texan, It is especially very cool to hear how music education lives in Canada.
