Description

In this heartwarming episode, Jenny and Kristine talk with Ben Enright, a middle and high school choir director, vocal director for musical productions, and middle school history teacher. Ben shares how music and teaching intersect—how the skills that bring harmony to a choir also create connection and curiosity in the classroom. Together, they explore the joy of helping students find their voices, the parallels between leading an ensemble and leading a class, and the life lessons that come from listening, collaborating, and showing up fully.


Through stories, laughter, and reflection, this conversation reminds us that singing isn’t just about music—it’s about belonging and bringing out the best in one another.

Out of respect for our students, we want to note that while the stories we share are real, names have been changed for anonymity. In fact, every student we mention is named “Charlie.”  We use that name as a way to honor privacy while still sharing authentic classroom experiences.
