Fun day conducting the North Eastern Middle School Honors Band. Thanks to Kristine Heyer, Shana Rogney, and the other teachers for the invite! (Yes the kids did come!)

Sigma stoked (can I say that?) to present at this year's Illinois Music Education Conference on Thursday, Jan. 30, from 3-4 pm in room 212/213. Come hear me rant about how dumb grading is and what you can do to reduce its harmful effects while restoring positive relationships with your students.

I know just what you need on a cold day like this - another Beyond ArtLess episode! Well...maybe not, but you are getting another one anyway AND it is a big one. This is a compilation of just some of the interviews we did at Midwest (Yes, we have even more to come!)

This episode has it all. If all you care about is plastic footwear. Crocs seem to dominate this week’s episode with our guest - 29-year veteran teacher Jason Gillette. Jason is the band director at Marquette University High School and is an extraordinary sax player.
