Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Laura Jackson on Common Time Podcast
Q: What's your favorite time signature and why?
Common time is the preferred foundational beat for many ensembles, but the discussion about time signatures became a playful moment that highlighted how joking and spontaneity can energize the group.
Laura Jackson on Common Time Podcast
Q: Is there a particular book that has inspired you on your journey?
The Inner Game of Tennis taught me how to balance hard work with trusting my body and mind, a philosophy I've applied to conducting and ensemble leadership, complemented by Tai Chi to ground my presence on the podium.
Laura Jackson on Common Time Podcast
Q: Do you have a soapbox topic you'd like to share with listeners?
The important point is to learn by observing others, ask questions about what is working, and focus on building listening and engagement in every rehearsal rather than just pointing out what's wrong.
LeAndre Benton on Common Time Podcast
Q: Do you have a soapbox topic?
Yes—the overuse of the metronome as a crutch in rehearsal; it can erode students' ability to subdivide and internalize tempo, so it should be used judiciously as a learning aid rather than an everyday substitute for rhythmic understanding.
Michael Haithcock on Common Time Podcast
Q: Do you have advice for how to shape a program and teach others to do that?
Focus on balance, start with a clear vision for student outcomes, and plan holistically around anchor pieces while considering the strengths and needs of the ensemble and the broader curriculum.
