Episode 14: “Can we play while you work?”

Doing everything from home during COVID-19 means that parents have had to blend their work and family lives together in ways like never before. Simply coping with this transition is a triumph itself, so our hosts were particularly impressed by a family with young children that has been able to turn these trying times into something wonderful. Sharing their story in this episode of Raising Curious Learners, professional musicians Rob and Ariella Johnson set the stage in their living room for a series of short performance videos for the Houston Symphony that feature both their three sons and popular orchestral pieces. This musical couple discuss the media coverage, music's role in their family, the virtue of patience, and how they've made the most of this time together.
