About this listen
How does music sustain us during difficult times? Why do we now realize why live music is so important? Our guest today is Lia Falco, an associate professor of educational psychology at the University of Arizona. She was central to the founding of a school based mental health program that provides free mental health counseling for students and families in public education, a program which launched just before the pandemic. Her research provides a context to the stories in this episode, about how music helped sustain and bolster people as they found ways to use music to provide solace for themselves during the pandemic. Musical memories by Andre Cota, Ariel Heinrich, and Hunter Del Rosario guide the conversation to a better understanding of how music supports us during those times we are in crisis.
