“Let young people study as far as possible under one master until they have received some of this teaching and know its style." Charlotte Mason || I could think of no better guest to discuss the power of music with than author, musician and composer, Joel Clarkson. || Joel is a treasure trove of wisdom, and inspiration when it comes to making, playing and listening to good music - today we particularly talk about orchestral and classical music, which as Charlotte Mason educators, I know it’s right up your street! When we wrapped up this conversation I felt like I’d paid good money for a classical music and composition workshop, honestly I learnt so much, and I know you will too! || Hang on until the last few minutes of the interview and you’ll hear a snippet of Joel’s music which he was so generous to let me use on the podcast. Please, check out his book, his albums, his audio readings of the Green Ember series by S D Smith, and anything else he has produced or created. || If you love the podcast I’d be so grateful if you could rate, review and share the love - it really gets the word around, and it would be the perfect Christmas present!  Thank you. ||  Joel Clarkson: https://www.joelclarkson.com ||  Leah's Links: https://www.leahboden.com
