Becoming Themselves: Music, Identity, and Growth Through PME

In Part 2 of my conversation with students Brody Watson and Audrey Priddy, we move beyond what happens in the classroom and into the deeper impact of Popular Music Education on their lives.

We talk about:
How music helped them find identity, confidence, and creative freedom
The overlap between music, theater, and visual art
What they think school music programs often miss—and how to make space for more students
Why this kind of learning might just be the future of music education

This episode is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do and what students are capable of when we listen, trust, and give them room to lead.
