Everybody Speaks Music
Adaptive Instruments, Guitars In The Classroom, Accessibility, Inclusion and So Much More
In this episode of "Everybody Speaks Music", host Kris Schulz shares his experiences and discoveries at the NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. He talks about the importance of inclusivity and education in the music industry, particularly in light of the pandemic and other challenges. Kris also highlights the work of Guitars in the Classroom, an organization that has trained over 17,000 teachers, provided over $5 million worth of guitars and ukulele supplies to classrooms around North America, and reached over 1 million students. He also discusses several adaptive musical technologies, including the Re-corder and the EKWE music app, that are making it easier for people of all abilities to enjoy music. Kris encourages listeners to explore these resources and embrace music as a tool for reducing stress and enhancing creativity.
