Diving into New Genres: Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone with Maya and Hana Cohon

Today's guests are musician sisters Maya and Hana Cohon! Originally from Seattle, Washington, Maya (violin) and Hana (cello) both are classically trained professional musicians - but recently have been trying their hand at some other genres of music. They've been learning fiddle tunes from all over the world by ear, and starting to get more gutsy with improvisation. They talk about the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone, and how that helps us continue to grow and evolve in whatever field we are in. This episode features some recordings of a special new group that has recently been formed - listen up!

Find out more about the Folkway Workshops, where the Cohons have been learning some fun tunes.
