#026 More Than Music: A Guide to Unlocking Childhood Potential - Delana Green

My guest today is Delana Green, a lifelong Alaskan from the Kenai Peninsula, musician, educator, and founder of Greenhouse Music. She’s also a podcaster and creator who has built a YouTube channel with over 10,000 subscribers—all from right here in Alaska.In this conversation, Delana shares how her background in music and theatre shaped her creative journey, leading her to teaching and building Greenhouse Music. Through stories about her students, she illustrates the real impact music has on kids—building confidence, emotional regulation, focus, and connection—and what’s truly lost when music disappears from schools.We dive into her mission to reduce barriers to music education and make it accessible for all kids, meeting families where they are and creating opportunities for students who might not otherwise have access. Delana also shares the challenges and rewards of creating from a rural place—building a business, podcast, and online audience—and why meaningful ideas don’t have to come from somewhere else to make an impact.Visit her website: www.greenhousemusicak.com Check out Greenhouse Music on YouTubeFind her on Facebook @greenhousemusicakShoot me a text, what do you think?
