Today I’m joined by Clare to talk about her life of music. In this conversation, Clare shares her experience growing up in a highly musical household, her classical training and later love affair with folk music, how music has taken her around the world and introduced her to new people, and the power of music to bring people together.

Clare is also an English teacher, she has a website where you can find lots of free resources to help you on your language journey:

Also, here are some links Clare has provided for music that she plays and recommends:

I play in a duet Broch Inspectors (violin/tenor guitar/voice). Mainly instrumental music of Ireland and Scotland, and we're currently doing a tune a day -
