This week Nick Averwater talks with John Easley, who is now an Educational Representative for Amro Music, but for over three decades was a band director in several school districts in northwest Tennessee. Most of his time as a music educator was spent in Union City, a town of around 11,000 people.
They'll be talking about John's early days as a band director, the value of having patience when growing a band program, and more.
Our conversation was recorded September 24, 2021 and is broken up in to two episodes. This is part one.
