“I have taken students to New York, Vienna, Prague, Florence, and more, but there was something about this Nashville trip that lit the fire of music in my students like no other. It was equally accessible and educational and FUN! Everything about Nashville emanates from music born in America. Every threshold that you cross brings more music and history to your experience.The most important thing that my students took away is that what they are passionate about matters and makes a difference in people’s lives. Looking at the history of American music is like following a 250 year journey of social justice, and they are now walking the same path forward.”
