**TW: some conversations on topics of suicide, and other sensitive mental health topics **
This week I had the honor of having my colleague and friend, Jacob DePalma on to talk about a wide range of topics for OCD/Anxiety, the education system, and more.
A little bit about Jacob:
" Jacob M. DePalma is a saxophonist and educator from Syracuse, NY. An alumnus of The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, DePalma has a B.A. in Music Education specializing in band, and studied under Dr. Casey Grev to receive a certificate in saxophone performance.
During his time at Crane, Jacob has performed in masterclasses for saxophonists such as Jean-Michele Goury, Kyle Landry and Eric Troiano. DePalma enjoys premiering new works for his colleagues, as well as studying and performing contemporary classical, jazz, electronic, and aleatoric music. DePalma hopes to get his master's degree in Jazz Studies in the near future. Jacob currently holds an Elementary Orchestra Director position at the Utica City School District. "
