Please join me in conversations with some of the most fascinating and accomplished musicians of our time, including performers, composers, and entrepreneurs. How do these artists reach and stay at the top of their game? What are their work habits, and how do they approach music? With each guest, we explore what makes them great and what we can learn from each of them.
Eddie Ludema is Assistant Professor of Trumpet, Music Theory and Music Tech at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. While he's not working on his etudes and helping his students understand just how cool an enharmonic German augmented sixth as a dominant pivot chord can be, he enjoys working with Tony on his podcast (and really wishes we could include more outtakes!)
