30 ABR. 2025 · Welcome to Hot Topics! Join us in this insightful episode as host Gabrielle Crichlow engages with music educator and accomplished harpist and pianist, Candace Lark, to explore the fundamentals of music theory. Together, they break down what music theory truly entails, discussing the critical distinction between reading notes and memorizing sounds, while addressing the concerning gaps in knowledge among college music students.
This episode delves into the vital role of music theory in education, covering essential topics such as the core elements of music—including notes, scales, chords, and rhythms—and how these concepts form the foundation for understanding and creating music. Candace emphasizes the importance of skills like sight-reading, ear training, and chord structure, which empower musicians to collaborate, transpose, and compose with greater ease.
However, the conversation also highlights significant challenges in traditional music education, including its Eurocentric focus that often neglects diverse musical traditions, as well as the detrimental cuts to music programs in schools. These issues leave many students ill-prepared for college-level music courses, leading institutions to implement remedial programs.
Listeners will gain insight into innovative approaches aimed at making music theory instruction more engaging and relevant, ensuring that it resonates with students' unique musical interests and experiences. Advocates for music education argue for a greater societal recognition of music's intrinsic value. This episode provides a balanced perspective on the critical debates surrounding music theory and its adaptation in modern music education, making it a must-listen for anyone passionate about the arts.

9 ABR. 2025 · Welcome to Hot Topics! In this compelling episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow engages in a powerful conversation with guest Keyshawn McMiller about a crucial yet often overlooked issue: the inadequate teaching of Black history in public schools. Together, they explore the role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as essential cultural touchstones and living museums that preserve Black heritage.
Gabrielle and Keyshawn share personal experiences that highlight the significance of connecting Black students with their roots through HBCUs. They examine how school curriculums frequently misrepresent or omit vital aspects of Black history, focusing predominantly on narrow topics like slavery and the Civil Rights Movement, while neglecting the rich tapestry of Black achievements and narratives.
The discussion also addresses recent political debates concerning restrictions on teaching race, gender, and critical race theory, emphasizing the detrimental effects of "classroom censorship" on all students’ understanding of history. Keyshawn illustrates how HBCU campuses serve as experiential learning environments, offering mentorship opportunities that traditional education often fails to provide.
Join Gabrielle and Keyshawn as they advocate for a more inclusive and truthful approach to Black history education, empowering the next generation to embrace their heritage and advocate for change. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that calls for greater representation and understanding in our educational systems!

Join us as she discusses the challenges she's faced in her career, highlighting the concept of "friendships versus transactions."
Jyoti provides updates on three significant situations: a book collaboration that went sour, a photography arrangement that fell through, and a dance performance that never came to fruition. She reflects on her initial attempts to be the "bigger person" and the empowerment she felt after leaving a critical review on Amazon following the collapse of her book project.
As the conversation unfolds, Jyoti reveals how these experiences have reshaped her approach to trust in new relationships. With a newfound caution in online dating and friendships, she now favors a smaller, more selective circle.
