Classical music and education in the summertime

Some believe that learning and listening to music, particularly classical music, at a young age is tied to success in the future. 

In Columbia, there are many efforts to get children interested in classical music: multiple avenues for music education, and even classical music performances in town targeted at kids.

Today on Intersection, we’ll talk about how young people in Mid-Missouri are exposed to these influences, and about some of the challenges in reaching them.

Guests:

Missouri Symphony Society Maestro Kirk Trevor 
Coordinator of Fine Arts for Columbia Public Schools James Melton
Director of Columbia Academy of Music Greg Hausman 

Ryan served as the KBIA News Director from February 2011 to September 2023
