This week Nick Averwater talks with Wes Lowe, Director of Instrumental Arts at The King's Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Wes was recently named to the 2022 Yamaha 40 Under 40 list of music educators, and in this episode, he talks about what it's like to direct ensembles at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, and how he has grown the band program at the school in the last few years. Our conversation was recorded July 5th, 2022. It's broken up in to two episodes, and this is part one.
