7.1: How to Release Music with Students with Kevin and Luis
Student voice and choice are increasingly talked about in education but how do we practically give students agency to engage in large scale musical products? In this episode, Sarah sits down with Kevin Longwill and Luis Aguilar to talk about an album project they completed with their students in the spring of 2026. In this episode, they share more about their program, process, and outcome of creating an album of original music with students. Listen in and get inspired!
This podcast episode is sponsored by Moosiko.
If you teach a school guitar, piano, ukulele, or modern band program, and you've been struggling to keep your kids engaged, Moosiko's Music EdTech platform could be a good solution. Used by 500 teachers and 20,000 students, their easy-to-use, structured learning platform makes practicing fun by breaking songs down into bite-sized pieces so any student, at any skill level, can feel a sense of accomplishment on their musical journey. Their massive song catalog and asset library saves teachers a few hours every week from having to hunt down lead sheets or create audio files for lesson plans. And their skill tracking and video tools makes it easy for teachers to keep tabs on which students are struggling and which are succeeding.
