I absolutely love your podcast! As a second year teacher I am receiving much help! I related to Janelle Freeman's charter school story. I went to college in Green Bay, WI and moved to Minnesota. My situation was similar to Janelle's where last year being hired a week before school started. I started a music program at a STEM charter school that had only a poor quality electronic piano, and teaching K-6 general music in a cafeteria as my first job. I believe when life gives you lemons make lemonade. Thank you for doing these podcasts! I enjoy them as I take my evening walks. Kyle

Enjoy it when you sit in for Don at NHB. Variety is the spice of life

As Jennifer Hogarth said, you were also my music teacher at Edison Elementary ('87-'93). I looked forward to coming to school everyday because I knew I would get to play my sax... (even at the rate of getting a "D" in Art class once) Music is a passion, and I have you to thank for that. Although I am no longer playing I have always had fond memories of elementary school and a great respect for the " Music Man" Thank you!

You were my music teacher when I was at Edison Elementary back in the very early 1980's. It's funny now that my daughter is in elementary school, she loves music and sings, actually really really good and taught herself piano, she's only 10. i can only attribute it to good music class in my elementary school from you. Thanks!

I've just discovered you on itunes! I enjoy listening to your podcasts and find them very informative, interesting and fun! Thanks for the great job!
