Music education and the impact on young people was discussed with professional musician and educator John Churchville. Dr. Berger explores student engagement and the power of music in developing well-rounded students with Churchville as we continue our focus on #MusicInOurSchoolsMonth with our series sponsored by Soundtrap!

He has been playing drums for over 20 years, and has studied tabla for the last ten.  Currently, John is the music director at the “Go Like the Wind” School in Ann Arbor.
