Carrie and Tanya discuss Part 4 of "Music as a Vehicle" by Ashley Cuthbertson as part of the 2025 Music Teacher Coffee Talk summer book club.

MTCT #183: 2025 Summer Book Club, Part 4

Original canon with lyrics from "maggie and milly and molly and may" by E. E. Cummings

We Find in the Sea

Today, Darlene Machacon and Rachel Pac join Genesis Santos and Jonathan Seligman, talking about the AAPI & Asian Canadian Music Education Gathering! This is the second biannual event to have ever taken place, this time in St. Paul (not St. Cloud), Minnesota. Genesis interviews the panel to have them share their thoughts, key impacts of the entire event, how Darlene's KPop Demon Hunters session was fire, and how other conferences can learn (or not learn) from it.

Huge shout out to Kinh Vu and Tina Huynh for creating the organisation. Shout out to Tou SaiKo Lee for being a lead presenter and hosting us for the family lunch! And apologies for mispronouncing your name Tou.
