Small Schools, Big Farms!...Welcome back Sara!

In this 6th episode of Music Inspires, I welcome back friend of the podcast, Sarah Novak. Today we get into some tips, tricks, successes, and failures that we have run into along our journey. While not all of this is exclusive to music education in rural America, for many of you who are in the same boat as Sarah and I, I think you will find much of it very familiar and relatable.
