In this episode of Beyond Artless, we sit down with the remarkable Dr. Shauna Pickens, an esteemed educator/conductor, trombonist, and Professor at Texas Tech University. Once we get the trombone jokes out of the way, we learn a lot from Dr. Pickens about her later journey through music education, teaching in a low SES school, mentors, and her support for a music education for ALL! We even have a rare interruption from Grandma Juli and Erika who want to say hello to Peter’s former colleague. Tune in for captivating conversations from Shauna Pickens full of profound insights into the transformative power of music education for all ages of teachers, as well as long-winded questions and generally unprofessional behavior from Peter and Phil.
