Since this podcast began in Oct. 2007, I've been meaning to feature leaders in the field of music and music education as occasional special guests. We finally make that happen in this, the first of a two-episode interview with noted composer Robert Sheldon. In our conversation, Sheldon shares fascinating insights into several of his most-loved works, interesting anecdotes from his work in music, and his thoughts on building and maintaining band programs now and into the future.
