beyond ArtLess

“Beyond ArtLess" with Chris Gleason, Peter Haberman & Phil Ostrander is a podcast that explores the friendships and the community that exists in and outside of the arts and arts education. In each episode of Beyond ArtLess, one of the hosts reveals his mystery guest to the other two. What comes next is a fun-filled conversation revealing the joy of friendship and the artlessness of the hosts. Unlike most successful classrooms, this show is not well planned and probably not worth your time.

Episode 4 has many similarities to Wagner's Ring Cycle - it is both long and epic! On the show is Peter's former colleague, dear friend, and AMAZING music educator, Parker Bixby, Mercer Island Band Program in Seattle. Our chat includes ideas regarding music department websites, vertical staffing, and a new philosophy and process for auditions. Don't worry, it's not all serious - Phil records the episode from a closet in his home and Parker shares a story about Peter missing a gig.

Many thanks to the President's Own United States Marine Band for the performance/recording of America The Beautiful. - Col Jason Fettig, conductor
