Ep. 48- Sad Songs

Music becomes meaningful when it helps us explore something human. For younger students, the challenge of learning something new might be enough to maintain interest. But eventually they need to figure out that music making is about more than getting it right, more than just doing it correctly. In this episode, I play two pieces that might help students connect the dots between how we make music and why.
