Whether you consider yourself a morning person or not, the first thing you listen to can sometimes set the tone for the rest of your day. So what kind of song do you prefer to wake up to — something with a strong backbeat to shake you from your slumber or a tune with a gentle build to ease the way between dreams and reality?

For the latest episode of Themes and Variation, Mahea and Carter sat down with Sarah Galdes, an incredible drummer and musical artist to discuss some songs that are perfect ways to start the day.
