“Music is something we all have within us, and we would do well not to forget this.” – Astrid Schween
We kick off Season 7 of Feminine Fusion with a brief look at what might be best called “legacy.” Most of us can look back at our lives and name a teacher or mentor who had a significant impact in our lives. In the music world, performers and composers often talk about the people who have influenced their art. Let’s look at just a few students and teachers today.
