This month’s guest on Speak Easy, the Alexandria Times podcast, is Heather Rosner, band teacher at George Mason Elementary School.

Rosner chats with Alexandria Times intern Lindsey Sullivan about teaching during the pandemic and the importance of music education for young students. Education during the pandemic has been a challenge for everyone involved, including teachers. Rosner has adapted by finding creative solutions, whether it’s delivering instruments to students’ houses or enlisting siblings in her students’ education.

Tune in for Rosner’s take on the future of in-person music education at Alexandria City Public Schools. The episode is available at the link below, or find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Play. Catch up on past episodes at www.alextimes.com/arts-culture/podcast.
