In this episode I talk to Scott Zimmerman, Vern Fergesen, Annie Dilocker, and Kaire Berreckman about how they turned their passion for music into a teaching gig. We chat about teaching kids to play music, what parents should know, what kids should expect, and the rewards for helping our youth discover the joys of music. We also talk about Omaha Girls Rock, a great organization for young girls who want to learn to build a band and learn an instrument. 

Day Gig is an ongoing series dedicated to talking to musicians about what they do for a living when they are not on stage.
