We got the chance to hear from saxophonist and educator Derek Douget , Director of Music Education at the Heritage School of Music, a part of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation. 1. You SIMPLY MUST listen to Derek talk about his inspiring approach to teaching kids and reaching them not just with music but with community building, PLUS his amazing story (how he was mentored by and then was the saxophonist in Ellis Marsalis’s band for more than 20 years). And, H. You WILL ABSOLUTELY BE WAY TOO EXCITED to plan your next student travel excursion to the BIG EASY.
