Must-Listen Podcast for Music Ed!

Eric and Justin present relevant, engaging content on topics that are fresh, significant, and practical. This podcast has helped to sharpen my vision and focus in serving my students, and has allowed me “behind the curtain” to gain new perspective on our evolving field. Make this a part of your professional growth - it is a game-changer!

Old teacher lady LOVES this podcast.

This old lady REALLY needed to hear this podcast yesterday. Our students need for us to SEE them, LOVE them and acknowledge their humanity. Only then can we have a chance of making music with them. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!!

MUST LISTEN for All Music Educators

I got to see Eric present at NAfME’s Eastern Division Conference a few weeks ago, and was blown away. Subscribed to the podcast, and man- I wish it had existed 5 years ago. I’m a white girl from New Hampshire teaching in very diverse Title 1 schools in Coastal Virginia. These guys are so helping to open my eyes and my heart, and they talk about things that hit so close to home. They rock. Listen!!
