This week, we're talking with one of the hardest working music educators in the business, Selene Hernandez. When she’s not busy running an orchestra program in Independence, MO, she fills her time teaching even more students for Harmony Project KC, a program which brings the gift of music to underprivileged children in Northeast Kansas City.

We’ll learn how music has shaped her life and how her personal journey inspires her teaching. This week, on Beethoven Walks into a Bar.
