Note: We had some issues with our audio recording and ended up having to use the scratch audio we were thankfully able to record. We'll have it all taken care of in the next episode.
On this episode, my main man Ian and I chat about the benefits of attending a small school, the need for performance students to learn how to market themselves, and the challenge of providing real world experience to students through the academic system.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I talk with my brother AJ about his growth as a musician and how important it is for a musician to continually develop an understanding of who they are and what they need to keep growing.
What is the role of a teacher in higher education? Is it possible to learn both new and old music at the same time effectively? How can we get comfortable with music styles we're not well versed in? Andrew, Chris, Greg, and I discuss these things and more in this week's episode!
On the first episode of Music Currency I talk with my good friend Connor Husa about how he got into being a musician, the benefits of being a versatile artist, and what it means to be "current" in music academia.
