Rising Stars Podcast with Carol Jantsch, November 11, 2021
Thanks to my amazing panel colleagues and of course, host and fellow tubist, Carol Jantsch for this lovely and honest look at pregnancy and brass playing. Carol’s podcast is a must listen, this episode featured “a panel of four brass musicians-all of whom are brilliant, incredibly talented, and most importantly, amazing mothers. They will discuss how they have been able to navigate the beauty and challenges of being a brass player while pregnant.
