After several months away, Megan returns to Sing, Coach, Conduct with gratitude for listeners around the world and a reflection on the challenging times we’re living in. This episode centers on why educators—especially music teachers—play a vital role beyond technique and performance. From modeling healthy authority and clear boundaries to fostering safety, empathy, and resilience, teachers shape far more than musicians—they shape humans.

A grounding reminder that your presence, integrity, and care leave a lasting impact, even when you can’t always see it.
