Hello & welcome to the Orchestra 101 Podcast. I am your host Linda Ramirez. I am an Orchestra teacher who has taught 3rd-12th grade orchestra for over 15 years in Texas. My goal for this podcast is to be able to share my personal classroom experiences and that of other orchestra directors that will hopefully be a stepping stone for your music education journey.
