WDAV Spotlights Local Music Educators During Women’s History Month

In addition to our on-air celebration of Women’s History Month, we looked to our local community and found two notable educators – Tara Keith and Jennifer Stasack. Each shares their story of how they’re inspiring and empowering young women through music.

Tara Keith

Tara Keith, associate professor of music at Davidson College and music director of the Davidson College Symphony Orchestra, spoke with WDAV about her experiences as a female conductor working in a field that has traditionally been dominated by men and about the importance of music education for girls.

Jennifer Stasack

Jennifer Stasack, professor of music at Davidson College, talks to WDAV about what it is like being a female composer in today’s age, and what female figures she used as role models to get to where she is today.
