How do we light a fire in the hearts and minds of our students? What are practical ways we can meet students where they are and help them to become successful? In this episode, Cristi Cary Miller shares the story of how she went from a middle-of-the-road clarinet player to a nationally recognized master teacher, conductor, composer and arranger. Cristi offers her energy, enthusiasm, and perspective on what we can do as teachers to get kids excited about choir, how to provide the tools they need for growth and success, and she talks about her recently published resources for the choral classroom.
