Jazz pedagogy, hangin’ out with the chickens, and the hilarity of working with children.
In this episode I talk to educator and artistic director Diane Downs, the founder of The Louisville Leopard Percussionists and a big believer in the power of music and kids’ potential to tap into it as a form of self-expression.
