This week Nick Averwater continues his conversation with Adrian Gordon, Orchestra Director at Providence Day School in Charlotte, NC, and author of the new book, Note To Self: A Music Director's Guide For Transitioning to a New School and Building a Thriving Music Program.
In this episode Adrian talks about the importance of mental wellness and a balanced life for educators, building and maintaining relationships with the community outside of the school, and creating a welcoming and positive environment for the students in the school.
Our conversation was recorded December 27, 2022. We've broken it up into two episodes, and this is part 2.
