Breaking The Third Wall Through Music's Mission statement:

The mission of Breaking The Third Wall Through Music is to break the barriers between ableism and music, by bringing a wide range of musicians, regardless of disability, instrument, background, and field of interested across all genres to chat.

This week I had the honor of chatting with a not only colleague, but really wonderful friend of mine about her personal story with a service dog, as a disabled individual, and other assorted disability related topics.

A little bit about Lauren;

" Hi there! I am finishing up my music education degree at Texas State University with a K-12 teaching certification and focus in classical saxophone. I was born and raised in Dripping Springs, a small town outside of Austin, and I currently teach private lessons at a few schools in the area. I'm planning on continuing my education with a master's degree and would like to focus my training around disability studies in music education!

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 13 years now, and I have had a service dog for four years. Tuluca, my diabetic alert dog, came into my life during my senior year of high school when I stopped waking up to my medical alarms during the night. She and I have had quite the journey through life together these past four years, and I wouldn't have it any other way! We are both so excited to be featured on Breaking The Third Wall In Music."
