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!
