📘 Episode Synopsis
In this powerful and resonant episode of Classroom Narratives: Healing in Education, Dr. Joey Weisler sits down with Dr. Guiliana Conti—music educator, researcher, and Director of Professional Development at Music Workshop—to explore how music transcends curriculum and becomes a lifeline for student connection, regulation, and identity. Through personal stories and practical insight, Dr. Conti reveals the neurological and emotional impact of music on trauma-affected learners and how even non-music educators can use sound to anchor safety and spark belonging in their classrooms. This episode is a must for anyone looking to deepen the emotional tone of their teaching practice—whether or not they can carry a tune.
