Episode 30: What Instructors Can Learn from Music Educators
Guests: Amy Lewis & Jesse Rathgeber
We kick off Season 4 with a conversation about music, creativity, and the art of learning. We hear from two UW–Madison music educators, Assistant Professors Amy Lewis and Jesse Rathgeber, as well as L&S students. They share stories of curiosity, improvisation, and connection that can inspire us all as instructors.
