  • This is the podcast I desperately needed!

    I’m new to being an orchestra teacher and need every bit of advice and guidance I can get. At TMEA this year I was fortunate enough to be in one of Mr. Laux’s sessions and walked away thoroughly excited. Within 5 minutes I had subscribed to this podcast and had all the episodes downloaded. I listened the entire trip home (3 hours from San Antonio to San Angelo) and every chance I have gotten since. Keep them coming PLEASE!!!
