Episode 290 - How Much Time Should You Spend On Fundamentals
When I first started teaching, I thought I didnât have time for fundamentals. Maybe I spent ten minutes of a 45 minute rehearsal on technique, scales, tone, tuning, arpeggios and long tones. Believe it or not, now I spend more than half our rehearsal time on those. I explain to the students that learning scales and other fundamentals makes more difficult and more interesting music attainable for us. They get it! When you explain the why, the implementation becomes easier. Put the responsibility for sounding great on the students. They need to take responsibility. We're so used to taking charge as directors. Use questions to get students to think. Instead of âtrumpets were overblowing hereâ say âWhat did you notice about the sound at letter A? What could we improve?â

Episode 289 - Helping Students Play In Tune
One of my biggest pet peeves is watching a director individually tune 80 band members on stage using the tuner! It doesnât help! Maybe it makes that one note in tune, but tuning is a process that can be taught, even to young band students. Here are some tips.

Episode 285 - Marching Band Is Needed Now More Than Ever Before
Controversial statementâŠI think every school should have a marching band. When I started one at a previous school, every single one of my colleagues thought I was crazy. I have come to the conclusion that - because many directors have been âabusedâ through marching band, or it was allowed to take on too much of a focus - many are against it. Hereâs why I think itâs needed.

Episode 284 - Add Some Spice To Your Rehearsal
I learned in the army that you canât 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 âspicesâ - things you can do - to make for a tastier rehearsal.

My first teaching job landed in my lap! It was easy to get. My neighbor was the principal for a small private school. They needed a band teacher, he asked me, I interviewed and was hired. The next three job hunts I had to use âJob Hunt Math.â Thirty applications equals six interviews equals three offers. This worked out pretty much every time. I see so many young people post, âI applied for my dream job. I havenât heard back. Maybe I should leave the profession.â Maybe you should use Job Hunt Math.

Episode 279 - Mastering Music Education: Is a Master's Degree Worth It for Teachers?
Getting my masterâs 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 bachelorâs degrees. I donât 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 wasnât when dinosaurs ruled the earth. I completed it in 2012. Check out the summer program at Southwestern Oklahoma State University.
