In this episode, Nora and Darlene interview Jonathan Seligman and talk about music programs, representation and buzzwords. This is part one of two of the conversation.

Jonathan Seligman has been teaching choir, band, ukulele, and general music for TK-6th grade at Casillas Elementary for 6 years, creating a new music community from the ground up. Academically, Seligman has received his B.Mus in Music Composition and a MA in Teaching from Point Loma Nazarene University. He has furthered his learning, being trained in ways of Feierabend and being fully Orff-Schulwerk certified. Seligman is also the co-founder of the CVE Collaborative Concert, an annual event that brings students from around Chula Vista to play music together in celebration rather than competition. Seligman’s mission in all his groups is to teach beyond music literacy and discipline. While they are vital, his goal first and foremost is for students to be in tune with their musical expression.
