In this episode, I chat with Dr. Shannon Draucker (Siena College) about her musical upbringing as a clarinetist, her experience in an English PhD program at Boston University, and her current pedagogical practices at Siena. We also discuss her recent book Sounding Bodies: Acoustical Science and Musical Erotics in Victorian Literature, as well as her current research on orchestra culture and concert etiquette.

The next HMA book club meeting takes place on Sunday, March 2 at 3:00 pm EST! Sign up for the book club newsletter at hermusicacademia.com/book-club.
