Orchestra 101 Podcast
by Linda Ramirez
Hello & welcome to the Orchestra 101 Podcast. I am your host Linda Ramirez. I am an Orchestra teacher who has taught 3rd-12th grade orchestra for over 15 years in Texas. My goal for this podcast is to be able to share my personal classroom experiences and that of other orchestra directors that will hopefully be a stepping stone for your music education journey. I love when there is a room full of orchestra teachers and we enjoy sharing the things that we are doing in our classrooms. The things that work and the things that don't. I want to capture those conversations in this podcast. We will focus on specific topics which can be easy for you to come back to check out when you need some tips for your orchestra.
