Today I am talking to cellist Alana Chown. She has supplemented her career as professional cellist and music teacher by training as a speech pathologist. In our chat we talk about the similarities between the need for paying attention to detail both in music and speech pathology. Alana speaks enthusiastically about the joy of connecting with the world through music and speech,  also highlights the importance to create a livelihood that would sustain you in the emergencies that life can bring across your path.Alana Chown (cello): B.M (Ithaca College) and M.M (University of Michigan).
