Episode 279 - Mastering Music Education: Is a Master's Degree Worth It for Teachers?
Almost Everything I've Learned About Teaching Band
12/04/24 • 5 min
Episode 279 - Mastering Music Education: Is a Master's Degree Worth It for Teachers? Getting my master’s degree was one of the best things I did! I was about 14 years into my career. Some of my classmates had just completed their bachelor’s degrees. I don’t think they got as much out of it as I did (I could tell by their responses in class discussion). There are affordable options out there that will let you continue to teach full time. Mine cost me less than $9,000, and not, it wasn’t when dinosaurs ruled the earth. I completed it in 2012. Check out the summer program at Southwestern Oklahoma State University.

Episode 169 - Why I Don't Do Christmas Concerts
Almost Everything I've Learned About Teaching Band
12/02/20 • 3 min
This is a replay of an episode I recorded in 2012. Excuse the sound quality. Many of you may not even be doing ANY concerts this year, much less a Christmas concert. In this very short episode, I just wanted to share some of my thoughts on why I chose many years ago to not have Christmas concerts. Maybe this will give you an idea for the future, when concerts return and the pandemic is a thing of the past. Disclaimer - I do set students up in caroling groups and we go around the school, often with the choir. Easy - fun - very well received!
This is the last episode of 2020. I look forward to bringing you more content next year. I'd love to hear from you! Send me a question or comment at [email protected].

Episode 284 - Add Some Spice To Your Rehearsal
Almost Everything I've Learned About Teaching Band
02/12/25 • 4 min
Episode 284 - Add Some Spice To Your Rehearsal I learned in the army that you can’t make bad food taste good simply by seasoning it (although you could sometimes cover over the bad taste with enough hot sauce). Spices take food that already tastes good and makes it even better. In this episode, I share eight “spices” - things you can do - to make for a tastier rehearsal.
