Description
This interview with Meryl Streep was recorded in 1999 for the release of Music of the Heart. Streep passionately discusses the importance of keeping arts education in public schools and why it’s often the first to get cut. She recalls vivid memories of her mother drawing and the moment a music teacher first put her on stage—giving her something to feel proud of. Streep shares personal reflections on parenting, childhood inspiration, and why music can open up a young person’s world in ways nothing else can.
