Description
The First Six Notes Podcast helps music educators build stronger programs, improve rehearsals, and make teaching more manageable.
Hosted by Kevin Hoff and Jessica Frank of Classroom Composers, each episode features practical, classroom-tested conversations about beginning band and orchestra, classroom management, curriculum, rehearsal strategies, recruitment, retention, program growth, and the everyday realities of teaching music.
Whether you are a new music teacher or an experienced educator looking for fresh ideas, you will leave each episode with strategies you can use with your students right away.
Because every great musical journey begins with the first six notes.
