As the founder and chief visionary officer of Music Will, David Wish helps teachers and students transform lives through music education.

Wish joins Michael Brandvold and Jay Gilbert on the Music Biz Weekly Podcast to talk about Music Will, the most extensive nonprofit music program in the U.S. public school system, which for 20 years has provided teacher training, curriculum, resources, and instruments to restore and expand music education in thousands of schools nationwide.

While working as a public school teacher in California, Dave developed a new approach to teaching music known as “Music as a Second Language.” Today, dozens of colleges and universities across the United States use Music as a Second Language in their music education programs.
