In Part 2 of my conversation with Alexis Yatuzis-Derryberry and Joel Denton, we shift from the philosophy behind popular music in the classroom to the real-world support teachers need to implement it well.

We talk about:
The professional development gap for teachers new to Modern Band
What school leaders can do to support innovation
How to expand your program without losing your roots
Encouragement for teachers feeling uncertain about the shift

Whether you're just beginning to explore popular music education or leading a full-fledged program, this episode offers insight, empathy, and next steps from two experienced voices in the field.
