Episode #11
Thomas Molina is a high school band teacher who absolutely loves his students, and one of the best ways to summarize this episode is with his band room creed: We encourage, we laugh, we pray, we edify, we're a family. Music is about connection and I admire people like Thomas that use it to invest in people and to love them.
Topics: Teaching high-school band, loving through music, investing in others
