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.

In this week's episode, we address the thing that keeps all directors up at night, which is the UIL program. Eric and Justin discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of picking that coveted UIL program for Concert Sightreading. To program or not to program, that is the question. The wisdom in this episode is focused on the vulnerability of knowing who you are teaching and what they need and not necessarily what you desire. We hope you enjoy this episode and leave with a better focus on programming music for your band programs.

In this week's episode, we address the art of life teaching. What is that, you ask? It's the method of pouring into our students' lives through our music rehearsal and classroom instruction. We get it. The sacred time of rehearsal and prep is very important. Yet Eric and Justin want to interrupt your scheduled rehearsals and sectionals to teach life principles and deal with the future lives of your student musicians. Remember, music is our common ground that gives way for us to pour into the next generation's lives. Enjoy and share!!!
