Before I watch ‘Whiplash’, I need Jack to watch ‘The Music Man’. I am appalled that the quality educator that he is has never seen ‘The Music Man’.
I look forward to Tuesday mornings so that I get to listen to a chopped podcast! The topic are relatable for my first grade classroom.
Okay, just IT/system administration, but still. Every time I listen, these guys drop absolute wisdom bombs that re-affirm my decision to go back to school for my K12 certification. Your students are lucky to have you—keep it up!
I’m a 6th year music teacher in CA, 2nd year doing HS Band and Orchestra. I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast over the last 6 months. You guys provide great insight into the craft of teaching and are an enjoyable listen. Congrats on 100, keep going. I’d buy a mug too if you sold them.
This podcast provides excellent insight and effectively articulates the struggles that I am experiencing in year 1 of teaching band. After listening to each episode I feel seen and calm.
As a young band director, I enjoy listening to two veteran teachers talk about music and teaching. I am able to find something that I can apply to my own teaching every single episode. Excellent podcast that I recommend to every teacher.
