In Episode 33, Lisa is joined by award winning singer/songwriter Brent Kirby. Brent discusses his connection to The Music Settlement, his 10x3 songwriter showcase weekly series at the Bop Stop, and his passion for mentoring and helping local musicians find work. He also reflects on growing up in a musical household and how he gives the same gift to his own children. Dr. Julie Derges, Associate Professor of Music Education at the University of Houston, connects Brent’s work and experiences to her research on the continuum between formal and informal music learning spaces and what music teacher educators can take away from Brent’s model incorporating music into family and daily life.
