  • Always fascinating

    I love this podcast! It is refreshing to hear new takes and perspectives on Music Learning Theory as it happens in the “wild”.

    Eric and Beau have very thought provoking conversations and interview interesting guests as they work to untangle the ways people learn music.

    I have so many “Aha!” moments as I listen, and I always come away with something new to try in my own practice or with my students.

  • Learning So Much

    I’m not an MLT practitioner but I’ve been taking some courses and adding in my own reading. I’ve been learning so much from having this new flavour and perspective on teaching. Very relatable music teacher stories too. And Dr Eric’s book is a real gem.
