November 14, 2022 Ep. 80- Re-release: ARTICLE- The Long Scars of Culturally Responsive Teaching: RIP Jarritt Sheel
Send a text
We received the news that our friend and past guest, Jarritt Sheel, had passed. We met via social media as he was a supporter and fan of our podcast. He booked us for several semesters to do guest lectures for various of his courses at the Berklee School of Music. In return, he would always reach out to us to celebrate our multiple milestones. We were talking about continuing our collaborations and potentially being on SXSW EDU. Our prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones. He was indeed a beautiful person, educator, musician, and leader. May he rest in peace.

April 04, 2022 Ep. 71- Where Should I Teach Music?
Send a text
This week's episode addresses the biggest question music educators deal with throughout their careers. Where should I teach music? A question that can cause us to respond in many different ways. Eric and Justin discuss how they have been intentional about not letting that question push toward complacency—instead of being bold enough to go and lead in places that may not get the first look, they are places of joy and fulfillment. This week's episode will push you to consider your convictions and the purpose of why you do what you do. We hope you enjoy this episode and leave with a better view of where you need to be in the next season of teaching.
