Listen "Frisson"
Episode Synopsis
Music has always played massive roles in both of our lives, taking up large portions of our afterschool time, but we’re definitely not alone. In fact, more than 40% of high schoolers in the US are active music learners. Derek Wu was no exception. Even after leaving home for MIT and eventually landing a job as a software engineer at Google, he remained extremely committed to music. Instead of doing a quick google search to find 100 benefits that music has to your brain, we choose to talk to Derek, a great aficionado of classical music. Today, he’s answering our “soul searching question:” why we are learning music, and what it takes to stick with it, enjoying a lifelong relationship with it.
