This week, Nick Averwater talks with Jared Cassedy, K-12 Performing Arts Coordinator for Lexington Public Schools in Lexington, Massachusetts, a town of around 35,000 people located ten miles northwest of Boston. 
Jared is in his 20th year as a music educator, and in this episode he talks about how he sees music education as an important component in creating not just good musicians or good students, but good people, and he'll explain the steps he takes with his students to realize this concept. Our conversation was recorded December 13, 2022. It's broken up in to two episodes, and this is part one.
