Today I am joined by my former co-worker and dear friend, Mr. Alexander Alberti. We cover a variety of different areas in this podcast but one that stuck out to me in particular was this idea of "breaking the cycle of expectations" in teaching music the way it has always been taught. We have so many resources at our disposal, we should take advantage of technology, community members, and our students' interests when we are teaching. Alex Alberti is the current Director of Instrumental Music at Longleaf School of the Arts in Raleigh, North Carolina. Alberti is an eighth-year music educator with experience in band, chorus, orchestra, music theory, music psychology, and contemporary a cappella. Alberti recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a Master's degree in Music Education and graduate certification in Nonprofit Management.In addition to his positions in schools of music, Alberti is active in a number of independent music organizations. Alberti currently serves as the Artistic Director of the Triangle Pride Band, an LGBTQ+-affirming community band organization. Additionally, Alberti is an intern from both the College Music Society and NAMM, assisting with conference activities and marketing.You can connect and learn more about Alex on Facebook or Instagram @maestro.albertiChoir Baton Host: Beth Philemon | Choir Baton Podcast Producer: Maggie HemedingerFor more information on Choir Baton please visit choirbaton.com and to follow us on Instagram @choirbaton @bethphilemon Music by: Scott HolmesTo join the Choir Baton Teaching Membership waiting list or for more information, go here.To enroll in the Revamp course, click hereTo learn more about my new course on Pandemic Choir Planning, visit here.To receive the weekly Choir Baton Weekly Letter, sign-up here.
