Dr. Monique M. Chism, Under Secretary for Education with the Smithsonian, & Ed Magee, Executive Director for Fender Play Foundation, are my special guests on this episode. We talk about many things connected to the intersection of Arts, Music, and Education. Listen for the story of how Fender Musical Instruments Corporation partnered with the Los Angeles Unified School District to provide instruments and music education for over 17,000 LAUSD elementary and middle school students.

This intersection is best shared in the upcoming Smithsonian National Education Summit. This is a FREE event for all educators taking place both in Washington, D.C. and online on July 18-20, 2023.
