Chops is a weekly podcast hosted by Jack Hinkle and Steve Peterson, broadcasting from Elkhart, Indiana. Our focus is on the core tenets of effective music education: 

Know Your Content, Know Your Teaching, and Know Your Students. 

We blend insightful discussions with humor, real-life anecdotes, and on-the-job knowledge, creating an engaging and relatable listening experience.

Our mission is to inspire, educate, and connect music educators, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the art and science of teaching music. We believe that by sharing our knowledge and experiences, we can collectively elevate the field of music education.
