Plato once said: “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” To wrap up Season 3, we invited musician, teacher, entrepreneur, performer, and woman of Wayland Penny Wayne-Shapiro to our studio. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover music education, humorous anecdotes, prejudices musicians still face, how learning music really is a preparation for life--whether you take it up as a career or not--and much more. We also discuss Penny's remarkable journey from Worthing, Southern England to Wayland, Massachusetts. Starting from her education at Royal Academy of Music in London to English National Opera Orchestra, Boston University School of Music and the founding of Wayland School of music, her journey is inspiring. There is something for everyone in this captivating conversation. Take a listen.
