Erika Gates: Building Community And Rapport With Your Students

Episode 7.

A continuation of the Music In Our Schools Month Series. Episode 7 is a discussion of how I have built a good rapport with my band students, thus establishing a safe and inclusive community in my band program. 

Let me know what techniques you use in your classroom and if we have any similarities.Thank you so much for listening, don't forget to subscribe and leave a review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WELCOME TO MY PODCAST!

My name is Erika Gates and it all started when I was trying to find illustrations of BIPOC musicians for my music classroom. With no luck finding them, I created the illustrations myself! I soon came to realize that I can contribute more which has led me to launch this podcast! 

Please join me as I interview all the wonderful BIPOC creatives we have here in the US. May you leave each episode feeling inspired and motivated to pursue your musical aspirations!

Additionally, I will have solo episodes discussing life as a band director and music educator.
