This is Yuri and me late last Friday night. I was shooting a project for a client and staying at a suburban Chicago hotel. When I recorded the podcast, I forgot to get a photo. Lucky for me, Yuri was kind enough to find me. This explains the yellow hotel lobby feel, and the bags under my eyes.
Great talking with Yuri- a fascinating guy, and damn good teacher. We talk about Yuri’s journey from Belarus to the United States, about differences between the Russian and U.S. education systems, Berklee College of Music, and our own approaches to Teaching in the Arts. And, as graduation season is upon us, the Lesson of the Day is about graduation speeches.
