Welcome to Tacet No More: where we are asking the questions that need to be asked, and saying the things that need to be said about classical music.

This is a landing pad for positive discussions about our belief in the power of music to better humanity, and we will invite voices - from all sectors - to inspire us and the work we do on and off the stage.

In this episode, Joe and Yumi are joined by return guest is Vijay Gupta as they record live from the Suzuki and American String Teachers Association conferences in Louisville, KY in March of 2024.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Responding to trauma and healing towards a new story, and finding our own path instead of just the stories other people put upon us.
• Seeking solutions and utilizing positions of privilege to invite change.
• Opening up doors to the human right of access to music.
• Celebrating and honoring teachers that helped shape our future.
• Finding clarity in our decisions and our “no’s.”
• Staying committed to finding your purpose.

• Learn more about the Suzuki and ASTA conferences
• Street Symphony in LA
• Arthur Frank’s The Wounded Storyteller
• About Dr. Suzuki
