Urban educator here. These guys are the stuff. Just listened to episode 106 (do more episodes on this topic!!!)
Every episode has a nugget(s) of wisdom I think about the rest of the day. Can I get PD points for listening to ya’ll? 🤣
Love you.
Eric and Justin present relevant, engaging content on topics that are fresh, significant, and practical. This podcast has helped to sharpen my vision and focus in serving my students, and has allowed me “behind the curtain” to gain new perspective on our evolving field. Make this a part of your professional growth - it is a game-changer!
This old lady REALLY needed to hear this podcast yesterday. Our students need for us to SEE them, LOVE them and acknowledge their humanity. Only then can we have a chance of making music with them. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!!
I got to see Eric present at NAfME’s Eastern Division Conference a few weeks ago, and was blown away. Subscribed to the podcast, and man- I wish it had existed 5 years ago. I’m a white girl from New Hampshire teaching in very diverse Title 1 schools in Coastal Virginia. These guys are so helping to open my eyes and my heart, and they talk about things that hit so close to home. They rock. Listen!!
This podcast is awesome!! I have enjoyed every episode that I have listened to! Eric and Justin are knowledgeable, caring and I love that they reach across the musical “isles” so to speak, to other directors.
