Music And Mental Health Part 1 - Social Emotional Learning

What can music education do for our social and emotional growth?

Over the next two episodes we'll be answering that question. First, let's talk to Scott Edgar about music education and social emotional learning (SEL). Dr. Edgar is the Music Chair, and an Associate Professor of Music at Lake Forest College. Prior to his work in higher education Dr. Edgar was a high school band director for seven years. In March of 2021 he was named Director of Practice and Research for the Center for Arts Education and Social Emotional Learning.
