Customer Reviews
5 Stars
Best podcast I’ve found for instrumental music education. I look forward to each episode!
Fantastic Resource
Thank you Kyle for taking a risk and putting out a super helpful podcast. Always enjoy listening and have exposed myself and program to a lot of new material and ideas because of this podcast!
Thank you.
Thank you for continuing to put out such a thoughtful podcast. You, and Krystal were some of the teachers that were pillars in my childhood and young adult life. Some of my favorite memories were winning Gold in 2011 for marching band, with Kyle and Emily as drum majors. And thusly becoming woodwind leader in my senior year of 2012.
I’ll also never forget our time with the SoPo high school Wind Ensemble where we got to play a collection of Sam Hazo songs, my favorite being Arabesque. Having Hazo direct us was something I’ll never forget.
Thank you for all you, and your wife have done for the Westbrook music system in your almost two decades of work. Cheers.
