Juliet Hess | Season 2, Episode 6

In this episode, we sit down with Juliet Hess to explore music education through a more critical and socially aware lens. Drawing on her work in the philosophy and sociology of music education, Juliet reflects on how music can become a point of encounter, giving students ways to engage with people, experiences, and perspectives they may not otherwise come across in everyday life. The conversation also touches on the emotional role music plays in people’s lives, especially for young learners, and how music education can either narrow that experience or create room for reflection and affirmation.Note: This conversation was recorded in August 2025
