“In my home office there are literally pictures of students on the wall next to me… at my desk at work at times when I was in person. I always keep pictures of students so that, as I am making decisions, designing a theory test or I’m deciding on a speaker to bring in… I am literally keeping students front and center.” Natalie Butler, Dean of Learning and Teaching at People’s Music School, speaks to the central role of students in her work as an arts education leader.
