Hello, and welcome to the first episode of Classical Meets Contemporary! 

Not only is this podcast going to act as a fun and inspiring space for fellow music fanatics such as myself, but it will also provide helpful resources and mindful tools which incorporate the use of breathing techniques with classical compositions. Some of which I teach in my own practice of music and mindfulness therapy. 

In today’s show, I share the personal relationship I have with the piano and how the instrument has made an impact on my life, why honing our creativity and joy is so important, and the truth behind our ‘inner critic’. 

If all of this has piqued your curiosity and you’re eager to hear a more in-depth analysis on the beauty of music, then tune in to Episode 1 of Classical Meets Contemporary!
