How does music fit into a Classical education? How does the study of music foster a love for truth and beauty? What brings more joy--listening to a beautiful piece of music, or just playing an instrument regardless of our skill level? What specific pieces might we listen to help cultivate that love for beautiful things in ourselves and in our students?

In this episode, Winston Brady speaks with Thales band directors Richard Dryer and Wendy Cheng about the enriching, transformative nature of music and the joy that great music can bring to a Great Books education.
