Episode 30: Music Education in Avon Schools
Avon is known and respected across the nation for the excellence and sustained success of our Music Education program. In honor of Music In Our Schools Month®, Dr. Wyndham has a fast-paced conversation with three of Avon's incredible music educators: Pine Tree Elementary Music Teacher Alyssa Anderson, Avon Intermediate East Band Director Josh Ellis, and Avon High School Orchestra Director and Music Department Chair Dean Westman. Listen in as they discuss the unprecedented success of AHS music programs and how it wouldn't be possible without the foundation that is built in Avon's elementary, intermediate, and middle schools. They also talk about some of the struggles of the COVID-19 school years, how excited they are about the growth and development that they've witnessed in spite of the obstacles, and what they're most excited about as they look to the future.
