On today's episode of the TIme to Practice podcast we're speaking with violinist and author Ashley Rescot. Ashley describes herself as an "aficionado of music, pedagogy, family, faith, and language." She writes about her life as a musician and writes fiction geared toward young musicians that they can connect and relate to. We got a chance to sit down recently and talk about fiction as motivation for young musicians, how the creative process for musicians and writers is related, and of course music practice.
