We invite our friend Shane on to talk about his first year teaching general music and elementary band.

We met up with Dr. Seggelke in McCormick place, so there's a bit of background noise in this episode. Dr. Seggelke is the director of bands at Illinois State University and currently serves as the artistic director and conductor of the San Francisco Wind Symphony. His bio can be found here: http://www.seggelke.info/wordpress/?page_id=2

We arranged an interview with Dr. Chapman while we were in Chicago. Dr. Chapman is the director of bands at Oregon State, where Olin got to study under him for two years. His bio can be found on their website
