Music lessons

March 17, 2014

Dug up this old episode of the public radio show This American Life from 1998! In episode 104, Music Lessons, there are interviews with a music teacher on the frustrations he faces teaching chorus to high schoolers, the author David Sedaris on fulfilling the musical aspirations of his father, an overzealous music learner, and writer Anne Lamott on learning music outside of the formal classroom. It is a lighthearted look at how music has changed a few lives. Have a listen.
