This episode features Dr. Richard Mayne, retired band director from the University of Northern Colorado. A true master teacher and first class human, he continues to influence music education in the state. Nick, Britt, and I road tripped down to Sedona, AZ to visit he and his wife, Cindy, to find out the keys to not just his successful career, but also his family life. This was a long interview, so I've split it into two parts. This is part one.
