  • What a great resource for choir teachers!!

    I am an experienced music teacher getting ready to build a high school choir program, and I couldn’t have found this podcast at a better time. The content is concise, relevant, and helpful! Hearing multiple perspectives from seasoned teachers, especially as we prepare for a new school year, is great. Thank you for putting this out there, Alex!
