“Simply the best music education podcast available, hands down. What the Stiles MS crew is doing is sharing the secrets of one of the most well-run and successful programs in the nation with everyone, in a way that is not condescending and is accessible to music educators in all situations. It...”Read full review »

“Incredible resource for music education students, early career teachers, and old pros. I love feeling like I’m attending a staff meeting of one of the best middle school band programs in the country! The conversational style helps this very enjoyable to listen to.”

“The insight from your Emmagram episode (plz excuse my spelling) was the game winner for me. The application of what you learn in teaching your student into each of y’all a lives is a breath of fresh air. I would love to see more of how each of y’all use daily challenges outside of the band to...”Read full review »

“I remember hearing Stiles MS at the Midwest Clinic in 2015 and being amazed. A couple years later I see the After Sectionals paperclip video pop up and I was hooked. They are fantastic educators that have a great perspective. Texas and Arizona are different band worlds, but there’s so much that...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast for music educators. I enjoy talking shop and I enjoy listening to others talking shop on my drive and on my dog walks.
I’m a choir director but there is still plenty that I learn from hearing these wonderful people.
Thanks y’all!”

“The After Sectionals Podcast is amazing, relatable, and so very useful to band directors at all levels and experience. Once you get past your jealousy of their their set-up, they come off as brilliantly entertaining and knowledgeable.”

“I’m a third year band teacher, and even though I have a much different situation (I have mandatory beginning band with grade 6, in heterogeneous classes that I see twice a week) I have gleaned so much from this podcast. Must listen for any junior high band teachers.”

“I am in my 2nd year teaching high school after 11 years in middle school, and I wish I discovered this podcast years ago. I have learned so much pedagogy that I am using with my high schoolers who don't get nearly as much instruction in middle schools as Stiles does. I just wish they would do...”Read full review »

“This podcast is awesome.
Whether you’re new to instrumental music education, in the middle, or at the end, this is a great discussion. The three teachers talk about what they do, which gives you ideas or helps you introspect and evaluate if what you are already doing is (or isn’t) working.
Do...”Read full review »
