Every July the “Music (ed) Matters” podcast usually takes a break, but this summer we are doing a series of replays to celebrate the book, “The Business of Choir” recently released by Alex Gartner and your host, Dr. Emily Williams Burch. In this replay from the Pre-Release Book Tour, you'll hear from choral leadership author, Dr. Ramona M. Wis as she gives tangible examples and evidence to rejuvenate us as leaders. We talk about the way people are led, the importance of mindfulness, management versus leadership, and a slew of quotes to empower each of us no matter where we are in our professional (and personal) journey.
