Description

In this episode, we’re diving into Part 2 of my conversation with the wonderful Daria — world music performer, educator, and cultural bridge-builder who has been sharing songs and traditions from around the globe for over four decades.

If you tuned into Part 1, you’ll remember we explored how music is learned in traditional cultures — how it’s woven into everyday life, passed down through families, stories, and community rituals. Today, we’re taking that conversation even further.

We’ll talk about what modern educators can learn from these natural, immersive approaches to music learning — how to bring more authenticity, inclusion, and connection into our classrooms. Daria also shares her thoughts on advocacy, representation, and how we can empower students to see themselves in the music they make.

It’s a rich, inspiring conversation that reminds us why music education matters — not just in the classroom, but in the heart of every community.

So let’s jump right in. Here’s Part 2 of my chat with Daria.
