Sorry for ghosting everyone for a year. We're back, but we're not. This is the last episode of the podcast. Series Finale. We decided that the podcast and our listeners meant enough to us that we needed to put out one final episode to actually wrap it up. This whole endeavor has been a wild ride and a labor of love. We felt we filled a role that was really necessary when we started but in the last 9 years there has been explosion of music ed podcasts. We're now almost 15 years into our careers and our focus is now more on our families instead of establishing ourselves as professionals. We'll still be meeting regularly to discuss our teaching and share some epic mistakes and wins but we won't be recording them. We wish you the best in your growth as a music educator and hope that you can find a community of peers like we did to help you on that journey.
If you want to see our journey from the beginning, go back and laugh at those kids who thought they might know what they're doing here's a link to our pilot in all it's glory and lack of production value: https://amusedcast.libsyn.com/amused-podcast-pilot -

Awards and other considerations
It's been a while since we were all together so our focus meanders a bit, but our original conversations focuses on rewarding students who are represntative of the values of your program beyond just outstanding musicianship.

Customer Reviews
Excellent perspective from music teachers!
This provides a wonderful and REAL perspective from current teachers in the field. Thank you for sharing with our MusEd students!
Small minded hosts
I would have given a higher rating till one of the hosts said “ It wasn’t worth my time teaching that class” when clearly two students wanted to be in there. Her selfish and unprofessional attitude immediately made me turn off the podcast and delete the episodes. Also who goes and gets a music degree and doesn’t have to take elementary methods? I’d seriously question your music education degree and your certification for K-12 music.
One of the best
One of the best music ed podcasts available. I love just hearing how a community of directors talks to each other and relates their experiences. I really hope this podcast returns in the future.
