Riverview School District Superintendent Dr. Susan Leach sits down with Cedarcrest High School’s new music teacher and band leader, Mr. Nick Sasse, for a conversation centered on the transformative role of music and the arts in student learning. Listeners will get to know Mr. Sasse’s personal journey, his philosophy of teaching, and the ways he creates spaces where every student feels encouraged to take risks, collaborate, and discover their artistic voice. It’s a thoughtful look at how music educators help shape the learning experience for students.
