In part 2 of this conversation with The Passionate Black Educator, Jasmine Fripp, highlights the importance of music educators being fluent in diverse styles of music in order to serve and empower our students as musicians and humans.  We also talk about ear training, music notation (including and beyond Western notation), and being “clouded by our own nostalgia” - and how to move ourselves forward, to the benefit of our students and communities.  Jasmine shares ideas about how we can broaden our own minds, perspectives, and skills as educators - so we can pass those possibilities along to our students. What happens when we are afraid to leave our “stoop” - and what might happen if we decide to leave our “stoops” anyways.  Tune in for some inspiration, love, and straight talk on how to move music education forward.
