Make It a Great One with Dr. Dan: #1 Podcast for Inspiring Conversations to Live and Lead On Purpose

The Rhythms of Life with Hayes Greenfield


Listen Later

Dr. Dan interviews award-winning composer, jazz musician, and author Hayes Greenfield about self-acceptance and authenticity. In an interview that flows and grooves like jazz improvisation, their conversation is spontaneous, rhythmic, bright, and complex.

Growing up with dyslexia in the 60s/70s when knowledge about the diagnosis was limited, Hayes struggled in formal educational settings. At 16, he found the saxophone and eventually forged his own path as a full-time musician, composer, and educator.    


Hayes tells Dan that “music is the closest thing to magic” and that it teaches us about purposeful listening, passion, excellence, memory and cognitive flexibility, and 

ultimately, about acceptance. Dan agrees that Hayes Greenfield’s unique approach is the foundation for a life of joy, wellbeing, and critical thinking.

Hayes Greenfield’s music has been reviewed in The New York Times and Billboard; he has scored more than 70 films, documentaries, commercials, animations, and TV specials. Hayes is the founder of Creative Sound Play (CSP) and author of Creative Sound Play for Young Learners.
