Note-worthy

This month's topic is about burnout - what it is, how to identify it, and how to deal with it. In this episode, we discuss how burnout manifests in our own creative processes. We also discuss navigating the exhaustion of being a self-employed artist, and dealing with pressure to work constantly, whether that pressure is self-imposed, cultural, or both.

In this episode, we talk about caring for our instruments and everything that entails, including: listening to our bodies to prevent injury; planning ahead to protect our instruments; warming up properly; and mechanical maintenance. We also talk about the differences between caring for an internal and external instrument, and how these differences inform our care regimens and our relationships with our instruments.

Hi and welcome to Noteworthy! This is a podcast by musicians for musicians and artists of all kinds.

Join us for our bimonthly podcast where we discuss all the challenges and complexities of cultivating an artistic skill. Tune in for conversations about how we navigate our creative processes, reconcile the demands of an industry with our own artistic development, and build careers as professional artists. We’re figuring things out, and we hope we can help you figure some things out too, or at least help you feel better about where you’re at in your process.

See you there!

In this episode we're joined by our friend (and Jack's bandmate), Philly-based guitarist Dave D'Arville.  Dave shares some of his thoughts on motivation in a continuation of our conversation from last episode.

The first two episodes were recorded back in September and have been in stasis since then, but they're finally here! Now we can listen to ourselves from several months ago and laugh about how naive we were!

Hello! Thanks for checking out the first episode of Note-worthy. Just a quick heads-up, the first two episodes were recorded back in September and have been in a bit of a stasis since then, but they're finally here! Now we can listen back on ourselves from several months ago and laugh about just how naive we were!

In this first episode, we talk a bit about motivation and accountability in honing an art and how going through quarantine has either affected, or maybe not affected those aspects of our selves.
