The Band Director's Desk: Recent Episodes
Joseph Radtke
Podcast about teaching concert band, learning about music, how to practice, and whatever else I feel like talking about
In this episode I discuss and demonstrate (that's right, I will play my instrument!) some ideas to get your journey as a spontaneous music composer, otherwise known as improvising, started!
In this podcast I talk about my thoughts on listening to music in order to both enjoy music more and to become a better musician, why live music is the best way to experience music, and how this all relates to practicing your instrument.
I refer to two books in this video (not paid to do so).
Victor Wooten: The Music Lesson

In this podcast I talk through some ideas I have about creating a characteristic tone on your musical instrument.
How do you divide up your practice time? In this episode I will tell you about three things I try to do every time I practice.
