Episode #78 - Getting Our Music Together To Learn & Grow Together: An Interview With Cheryl Baker

The concept of mentoring and coaching go back hundreds of years to times where it was necessary to share information from one other, especially with a specific set of trades or skills that were being passed from generation to generation. Being able to have this insight and knowledge allowed for advances not only in civilization, but it creates opportunities in our lives to interact with one another because of the unique knowledge, skills, and abilities that we bring to others. For our guest today, Cheryl Baker demonstrates the importance of being able to pass along this information, especially in the music education field that has seen troubles as a whole in recent decades. Being able to share this knowledge through instruction is one thing, but being able to pass it along to others can create a focus that is needed in our own lives to ensure that we are sharing tips and tricks of how to get through some of the difficult moments that we may experience.Guest BioCheryl Baker is a veteran teacher of elementary general music.
