New clip from the 2025 Westbrook Percussion Ensemble Music for All performance documentary—this one all about the team behind Ensemble Block. Shoutout to Ensemble Block co-founders Karl Arrieta (CMO), Huei-Yuan Pan (CEO), and Eric Carraway (CTO) for being such a huge part of this journey to Indianapolis. They didn’t just support us—they were there capturing the story of a truly special, historic trip. I’ve been using Ensemble Block to prep everything—from our MFA performance to region band auditions and daily fundamentals. The ability for students to upload videos and get precise, time-stamped feedback has been a game changer, and the new features just keep coming. Grateful for the collaboration, the innovation, and how much fun it’s been growing with this team. #EnsembleBlock #MusicForAll #WestbrookPercussion #MusicEd #EdTech PercussionLife
