What’s the greatest problem with how we’re educating our educators? This week, Luke and I sit down with William LaRue Jones to dig into reasons you shouldn’t go to graduate school, what Juilliard students conducted every year, and why you need to practice conducting.

This week we discuss:

-The steep learning curve of teaching
-Conducting is the only thing that includes every area of your musical education
-Relate everything to the score
-The great problems when we train music teachers
-Don’t recycle your old interpretation
-Grad School is not for professional conductors
-Hidden Gems and programming underrepresented groups
