Join David Duarte as he discusses the methods, challenges, and benefits of building a positive culture within the classroom. Hear different perspectives from music educators of all backgrounds, and learn how they build a culture of intrinsic motivation, collaboration, and growth within their own ensembles.

In our first episode, David speaks with Matt Wood of Ridgeview M.S. about the importance of relationships, patience, and empathy within the classroom, and how his own past experiences as a student have influenced his educational approach today.
