Episode 85: Hanging With Estela Aragon

My guest for this episode is Estela Aragon.  
Estela is an innovator. While obtaining her Master’s Degree in Performance, Estela became obsessed with devising new techniques to teach music. As a result, her unique teaching methods earned her first prize at the 2014 Savvy Arts Venture Competition. Estela is the founder of the Trumpet Headquarters and The Music Fit Academy. She’s a performer, educator, and successful entrepreneur. And she’s just getting warmed up.  
Check out what Estela has to say about finding a new path, the fear of failure, structuring a progressive curriculum, expanding the course, dealing with gender bias, overcoming obstacles, filling the pedagogical void, a sneak peek at what's next, her ideal student, and so much more.  
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
