Today, Dawn Devine joins us to chat all about Zills. We talk about her experience as a baby dancer with them and how that interest combined forces with her academia studies to lead her to discovering more and more about the history of zills.

We chat about how old Zills REALLY are, and how much commitment it can take learn to be a musician AND a dancer by learning to play the zills. 

A great mix of history and practical tips for your practice await you!
