not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown EJN: The last question I have, and you’ve touched on this a little bit, your work centers around the importance of music. So, what music have you been listening to lately? TRAINOR: Oh, well, that’s interesting. I just played a concert where we did Peter and the Wolf, which is cool for me because it’s big flute part - the flute is the bird. It’s really a story geared at children, so it ties into my developmental interest. That was really fun! And we also did Scheherazade, which is a huge, long, epic piece but very romantic and really fun to play. So, I do tend towards classical music but I really like listening to music from lots of different genres. Edited for length and clarity by P.R.N. and L.T.
