We’re kicking off our return with a very special guest—Dr. Donald Buell, retired professor of conducting and trumpet, former director of the MUN Concert Band, and one of Dylan’s predecessors at Memorial University. Dr. Buell taught at Memorial University for 26 years and was a recipient of the prestigious President’s Award for Teaching during his time at MUN.
In this episode, Don and Dylan discuss his journey to Newfoundland & Labrador, his research on what makes an engaging rehearsals, mentorship, the importance of uplifting all students—not just the most talented ones—career highlights, and much more.
