But how they get there is just as chaotic as our podcast. Do listen and let us know if you have a partner teacher yourself as a music educator!

In 2021, Jonathan witnessed one of the most powerful music education workshops he's ever attended. Led by Mika Inouye, Sarah Mano Inouye, Mei Li Inouye, and Seidi Inouye, these four taught music educators Japanese American incarceration but through the lens of music. Back in 2025, Jonathan finally was able to interview 3/4 of the sisters, talking about how they made the workshop and the importance of remembering this atrocity. Please. Do check it out.

It's the end of the year! Other than performances, the quarter is coming to a close. Genesis, Jamie, Jasmine, Jonathan, Marc, and Sasha look back and reflect on how the year went -- joys, struggles, things they'll NEVER do again -- and look forward for what they want in the coming year. It's both a heartfelt and hilarious chat. It's also our first LIVE episode (with many more to come) so get ready for random stepping on feet.
