What does it take to build a successful music program?

We explore this question with guests Elizabeth Guglielmo and Barbara Murray, current and former Directors of Music at the NYC Department of Education, respectively.

Covering nearly two decades of leadership in the position - plus many more as music teachers and administrators - Elizabeth and Barbara join us for a spirited discussion about what makes for great music programs, the role of the Director of Music as the "eyes and ears of the music education community," and what organizations like ETM bring to the effort of providing high-quality music instruction to all students.

They also share with us their perspectives on major trends in music education, the impact of supportive school leaders, and the value that the NYC Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in Music provides as a framework for instruction and for building cultural connections.
