Teacher and chamber music coach Karen Iglitzin talks about music education.
At 2:00pm - Karen Iglitzin
During her years as a professional string quartet musician and university level violin instructor, Karen Iglitzin too often felt her colleagues and students had lost the joy of music making. In response, much of her work as a teacher and chamber music coach now focuses on creating a positive atmosphere for music education, free from the pressures and neuroses that frequently plague young artists. Karen Iglitzin is the winner of the 2002 Chamber Music America Award for Excellence in Chamber Music Teaching. She joins us in the KUOW Studios.

At 2:30pm - Brenda Peterson: Build Me an Ark
Noah’s Ark was no carnival cruise. Two of every animal on a rickety boat made of salvaged wood? How did Noah assign rooms? Did the elephants ever get to enjoy the promenade deck? Logistics aside, the image of Noah’s ark is the strong symbolic center of the latest book from essayist, novelist, and reporter Brenda Peterson, Build Me an Ark: A Life with Animals. Known for her personal and professional stories of the interaction between humans and animals, her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Utne Reader, and Reader's Digest. She is a contributing editor to New Age Journal, and has covered major environmental stories for the Seattle Times and National Public Radio.
