In this episode, I talk with Grammy nominated composer and award winning pianist, educator and author of the best selling book “Effortless Mastery” and  “Becoming the Instrument”.

Here are some episode takeaways:

• You don’t move forward unless you practice
•  Let your arms defy gravity
• Sate of presence of mind
• The body is the instrument that plays the instrument
• BE the instrument
• Get your mind out of the way so the body can commit to muscle memory and motor skill
• The need to sound good obscures the way the body would play it
• Don’t hold your breath
• The space
• Going into the space
• Practice hacks: 5 min at a time
• The problem isn’t practicing, it’s starting.
