Too Much to Know

In this episode, Patrick talks with Professor Diane Neubauer at the University of Louisville about filling your students' learning environment with rich, high-quality sound input, accepting silent periods in the learning process, and the value of listening as a skill in itself separate from production.

In this episode, I talk with Professor Matt Russo of the University of Toronto about his technique called sonification, which gives sounds to stellar bodies in motion. We also discuss distant listening, teaching wonder and curiosity, and what it means to reach out with our ears.

Is listening to music the same thing as listening to people? What can listening to music teach us about listening to our students? What's the difference between listening and hearing, anyway? Musicologist Jake Johnson explains how he creates vibrational unity with his students at the University of Oklahoma.

In this episode, Dr. Patrick Bonczyk talks with Leah Senatro about how writing memoir is a powerful tool to listen better to others and to yourself.
