In this excerpt from "Hip Hop Can Save America," Manny Faces chats with Randy Swiggum about the upcoming workshop featuring nine power-packed sessions for music educators. They delve into the legacy of the late Jarritt Sheel and his groundbreaking ideas on how Hip Hop can -- and should -- intersect with traditional music education. The two discuss the importance of incorporating Black joy and culture into the classroom, along with the inclusion of other elements of Hip Hop, such as dance and beat-making, in the education space. The session also touches on the significant impact of movement and dance in music education, emphasizing the inclusive and welcoming nature of Hip Hop culture.

The workshop is presented by the Wisconsin Music Educators Association.
