We’re chatting with past podcast guest Elisa Janson Jones today.  I had the chance to spend some time in person with her during the NAMM Show in January 2020, and I was interested in learning about how she has been handling the current pandemic, with its many challenges and opportunities. Elisa wears many hats: entrepreneur, author, educator, host of the Music Ed Mentor Podcast, and the founder of the International Music Education Summit. We cover all kinds of online teaching topics in this helpful conversation, which Elisa also published on her podcast.  Enjoy! Listen to Contrabass Conversations with our free app for iOS, Android, and Kindle! I’d also like to thank the sponsors who have supported us over the months and years.
