Good podcast!

I really enjoy this podcast- James is very quick and to the point and he fits in a lot of information in a short amount of time. Worth a listen if you’re a band director.

Quick and Easy Tips

I love the fact that I can listen to James’ advice on my drive to work in the morning, and arrive at my school with tangible, ready-to-go ideas. This podcast covers a wide range of topics that is beneficial to teachers at any point in their careers.

Choir, etc.?

Since this is called the music Ed podcast, have you considered expanding to other aspects of music Ed? Maybe bringing on folks that can speak to that?
