Superhero

"You got to be emotionally aware of what that child may be going through to connect with them on an educational level." Mr. LeBarron Mcwhorter Band Director, Music Educator (elementary, middle, high school and college) https://lebarronmcwhorter.wordpress.com/ Mr. LeBarron Mcwhorter reflects on his awesome academic and musical experiences that shaped his identity and put him on the pathway into education. With over 15 years in the classroom, LB speaks about the musical growth he's seen from his students, why he still gets excited when it's time to perform, and how he's evolved from a young band director into an open minded, empathetic educational leader. "If you want to grow, you gotta put yourself in uncomfortable situations, sometimes." #Shoutout to the Mighty Marching Hornets at Alabama State University! As a Drum Major, LB understood the power of leadership, discipline and excellence. He shares how attending his HBCU prepared him to be an educator, how he builds an ecosystem of Black male musician mentors, and why the state of education in Black America is hopeful. Every Superhero needs their theme music. From the mentor cap to the educator cape, Mr. Mcwhorter is committed to supporting students, schools and communities, and creating amazing soundtracks along the way.
