Episode 152: How Music Saved My Life; James' story

from Almost Everything I've Learned About Teaching Band

This episode is a little different. In this podcast, I'm sharing a presentation I made on The Story Project, a show similar to The Moth for those who have heard that on NPR. In the presentation, I use my 100 year old saxophone to tell the story of how music saved my life (specifically teachers). Playing the saxophone was life-changing for me! Listen all the way to the end and you can get the code to receive a free digital copy of my book that tells my story in more depth. You can also see the live video of the Story Project by visiting www.jamesdivine.net. What you do as teachers makes a difference! www.jamesdivine.net
