Relative Pitch: Recent Episodes
Relative Pitch
The idea to create this podcast came to us during the quarantine of summer 2020 whenever the world seemed to be on pause. As three young music professionals at the very beginning of our career, we found ourselves continuously discussing various music topics as it related to the world around us. Topics ranging from orchestral repertoire, conducting, music education, etc. would come up in hour long Facetime calls. One day, we decided to share our discussions with the world, and Relative Pitch was born. We feel that the purpose of our podcast is to showcase the talent, leadership, and passion that we see within our field of music, and to help pave the way for much needed change in our community that will make it a more diverse, enriching, and equitable atmosphere for anyone who wants to be a part of it.
In this week's episode, we talk about the need to be well-rounded, how to survive "Band-tober", and the yearn for community.

There are some explicit/derogatory words used within our discussions but more importantly are the depth of conversations we have. Make sure to tune in.
