Normally on Monday mornings at 9:15, I join John Birge on Classical MPR to talk about stories we're featuring on our website. This Monday I won't be on the air—I'll be at the Minnesota State Fair participating in our live blogcast—but here are three recent stories you might have missed.
Taylor Brorby recommends a little-known delight: Children's March by Percy Grainger. Though Grainger was an Australian composer, Taylor finds the music perfectly-suited to a walk around the Badlands.
Dan Nass writes about a new study demonstrating that music education can have positive effects on the teenage brain.
In a compelling essay, Cinda Yager writes about a scary episode with a man who was terrorizing her; and reveals how she turned to Brahms's First Piano Concerto to help her manage the agonizing uncertainty.
