My D is a violin performance major at a major conservatory. She is wanting to work towards a liberal arts minor (a new program at the conservatory) and is considering starting a podcast as part of that, to eventually be part of her capstone project. She envisions interviewing students, teachers, conductors, leaders from all the different disciplines (classical, jazz, contemporary improvisation, opera, etc) and making it a look at what the conservatory looks like from the “inside” - to give potential students some real insight into what the school has to offer, thinking how much she would have loved something like this in her school search.
My question is - would something like that interest you and your students? I am hoping to give her some supporting info from people “in the trenches” to use when she talks to her liberal arts teacher about it- evidence that there would be an interested audience.
I would be interested in a podcast like that! I love the idea of hearing about different disciplines!
My D basically did that at Oberlin as host of the weekly radio show spotlighting the Con on the Oberlin radio station. Great experience for her and she met some really cool visiting artists. I am sure a podcast would be fun too.
