Band Room Podcast Update!

After four amazing years of co-hosting The Band Room Podcast, Cait has made the difficult decision to step away from the podcast to pursue the many exciting opportunities ahead of her, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see what she accomplishes next! She has been the most incredible co-host—bringing thoughtful questions, meaningful discussions, and an ability to connect with our guests and listeners.

While Cait’s voice will be missed on the podcast, Dylan is glad to have a best friend and colleague to collaborate with in new ways throughout our careers. Thank you for everything you’ve done for The Band Room, Cait!

As for The Band Room Podcast, the journey continues! Dylan is excited to keep bringing you conversations with inspiring musicians, educators, and artists. Stay tuned for what’s next!

About Shelley
Dr. Shelley Axelson is currently the Director of Bands at Radford University in Virginia where she conducts the Wind Ensemble, Campus-Community Band, graduate conducting students, and teaches courses in the music education curriculum.  She was previously an Assistant Professor of Music Education and Assistant Director of Bands at Montclair State University in New Jersey for twelve years where her duties included conducting the Symphonic Band and teaching courses in conducting, instrumental methods, and music education.  She also served as an academic advisor, faculty advisor for Sigma Alpha Iota, and created a Campus Band and Pep Band so students majoring in a subject other than music would have an opportunity to continue their musical education and experiences.

Dr. Axelson earned her undergraduate degree in music education from the University of South Florida, where she studied conducting with Jerry Junkin, Michael Votta, and Mallory Thompson.  She continued her training by earning a Master of Music degree in Conducting at the University of Michigan, where her principal teacher was H. Robert Reynolds.   After graduating from Michigan, she taught at Pasco Middle School in Dade City, Florida (co-author of the Secondary Music Curriculum), and Richardson Junior High in Richardson, Texas.

After earning her Doctorate in Conducting with Mallory Thompson at Northwestern University, Dr. Axelson was appointed Director of Bands at Central College in Pella, Iowa where she was responsible for running all aspects of the band program.  After three years in Iowa, she relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana to become the Assistant Professor of Music Education at the University of Indianapolis.  In 2009, she joined the faculty of the John J. Cali School of Music at Montclair State University in New Jersey and has been at Radford University since the fall of 2022.

Dr. Axelson is a highly sought-after conductor, clinician, presenter, and adjudicator for professional development events, band festivals, honor bands, and conferences throughout the United States and Canada.  She recently presented at the National Association for Music Education Regional Conference in Atlantic City and the Mid-West Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago.

A Tribute to Dale Lonis23 mars 202200:22:31

Send us a text

It is with much sadness that we share the passing of past BRP guest and friend of the podcast, Dr. Dale Lonis. We share clips from old episodes with three of his past students, Dr. Darrin Oehlerking, Dr. Jacqueline Dawson and Dr. Jason Caslor, who share a little bit about their time with Dale and the impact he had on them.

We also share Dale’s hilarious bonus episode with you. Dale tells us about when he was the captain of the University of Illinois rugby team and was hit a little too hard. This event also helped Dale see the softer side of the legendary, Dr. Harry Begian, Director of Bands at the University of Illinois.

We encourage you to listen to Dale’s main episode again and think about how you can connect with people in rehearsals and in life for years to come.

About Jienan Chen
Jienan Chen (b. 2001) is a largely self-taught composer from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,  Canada. He learned to compose mostly from looking at and listening to the music of other composers, and from playing in wind ensembles from the elementary up to the post-secondary levels. His music seeks to emphasize the structures found in Classical-era music while creating intrigue with harmony, counterpoint, or borrowings from the musical styles from his homeland China. 

Jienan has composed music for various solo instruments and ensembles, as well as electronic music. Additionally, he has created several arrangements of Chinese music, in his pursuit to make it more accessible in Canada and to widen the repertoire of world music arrangements in the wind ensemble and orchestral repertoire.   
               
Currently enrolled at the University of Alberta pursuing a major in marketing and a minor in music, Jienan devotes his time outside of classes and composing to various activities, such as writing, gardening, cycling, photography, promoting the use of alto clarinet in wind ensembles, pondering the revival of the harmonium, as well as talking about Chinese history.
