The Music Educator Podcast explores the thinking, tools, and systems behind effective music teaching. Each episode focuses on real classroom challenges: what works, what doesn’t, and how to build lasting musical understanding without burning out. The goal isn’t more noise or quick fixes, but clarity and practices that hold up over time.
