Episode 138: Interview with Ben McIlwain

For Dr. Ben McIlwain, being a professor is about much more than just teaching trombone. It’s about cultivating enjoyment in music and in life. In this episode, Ben talks about his teaching philosophy, passions for expanding the trombone repertoire through over 50 commissions, behind the scenes of his debut solo album releasing in fall 2021, and the importance of enjoyment in all aspects of career and life. “If you work hard and you dream big, things will come.” “You only have one life. You enjoy it, and you take one day at a time.” Listener Write in: https://www.musiciansguidepodcast.com/about Patreon- Come Hang out: https://patreon.com/user?u=66581011&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link The Musician's Guide to Social Media Courses: https://www.musiciansguidepodcast.com/courses Leave us a Review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-musicians-guide-to-being-healthy-wealthy-and-wise/id1440699268 Karen Cubides Agency: https://karencubidesagency.com Karen's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karen.cubides/ Jen's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferjames.co/
