Six months ago, when the school shut down first started, I reached out to my friend Dr. Matthew Arau to join me for a series of webinars we called “Living in Tune.” Our goal for these webinars was to give people a single time—once per week—to get away from all of the stress, and to join in a group setting to refocus and rethink the way we approached our challenges.

A couple of days before recording this episode, I posted a little poll in the Music Educators Creating Online Learning Facebook Group.
In just a matter of a few weeks, the whole world has changed. It is with mixed feelings that I welcome our new reality.
