#14: How to Work with Middle Schoolers in the Music Classroom | With Lyndsey Ransford

Listen as Christian, a young composer, and Kara, a young choir director, interview music teachers of all kinds in order to learn everything they can about music education. This is the perfect podcast for beginning and veteran music educators alike, as well as composers and music students. Whether you teach choir, band, orchestra, or something else, all are welcome! It's time to go beyond the measure.&nbsp;Brought to you by Christian Fortner Music.
