You know, a job that you love so much, that when you open your eyes first thing in the morning, you can’t wait to start working? And even better yet, that “job you love” would involve your passion for say, music?
So, what kind of job can that be?
I’m Dr. Jen Palladino, a Chiropractor who specializes in the treatment of musician and performing artist injury. Music and the creative arts can change the world and I’m interested in exploring the passion that music and art evokes in people, whether it’s playing or listening, or creating or observing. It’s that powerful driving force within the human soul that sparks emotion, unites the masses, bridges language and cultural barriers, and heals the body, mind, and spirit.
So, the answer is YES! You can get a Master’s Degree in The Beatles! Dr. Mike Jones, is a professor at the University of Liverpool, and co-creator of the Master’s Degree program, The Beatles: Music Industry and Heritage. From being a main song writer for the popular British band, Latin Quarter, to co-creating and instructing a Beatles Master’s Degree program, Dr. Jones certainly knows how to incorporate his passion into his work. So, join me and hear how Dr. Jones took his love and knowledge for The Beatles and created something that is truly a testament to his deep appreciation and unwavering loyalty for the music!
