  • Awesome resource!

    That Music Podcast is such an invaluable resource. As a band teacher who has recently delved into the world of elementary music, it has helped me tremendously! Information found on this podcast is practical, intellectual, and emotionally sound. I especially love how Bryson incorporates mental health into his content and is especially considerate of our neurodivergent communities. What an amazing podcast!! A+++
