Although we begin this episode as a "band" episode for my music ed students, Dr. Shelley Jagow brings life lessons and "power" to the table as we literally discuss the impact music can have....when we explore fundamentals, utilize our individual life experiences, explore various options and possibilities, and intentionally program repertoire. Get ready to "be the model" as we work together to build better citizens in the world through the massive power of music (and music education).
