November 12, 2024 Every Competitive Pianist NEEDS to Hear Dr Artina McCain's Story!
Send us a text
To all the pianists out there:

How many of you have spent 6-8 hours in the practice room multiple days in a row?

How many of you have been preparing for auditions, concerts, competitions, and felt the weight of the results on your shoulders?

How many of you have played through pain to make those performances "work?"

If you nodded your head to any one of these questions (or all of them), then this episode is for YOU!

Dr Artina McCain dealt with pain as a conservatory piano student for years, and the pain eventually got to the point of real injury.

Her original goals had to shift.

But how can one do that and be ok?

Dr Artina McCain's story is one of perseverance, faith, and realignment of goals with self, that taught me more about how pivoting on original goals can bring you opportunities that you would not have had otherwise!

Keep on keepin' on and trust the process!

November 07, 2024 THIS is the STRATEGY Every Injured Musician Needs to Apply!
Send us a text
How often do you think about the habits that drive every aspect of your life?

Studies show that about 40-95% of human behavior is habitual.

So how do you know which habits to keep and which to get rid of?

This week I am sharing a strategy I have adopted from one of my personal coaches and friends.

The fact is, you don't know what you don't know, and sometimes we aren't even aware of the things that we do that do not serve us.

Do you know what habits led to your injury?

Are there any of those habits still in your daily life?

Do you know what habits you need to aide you in recovery? In your overall personal development?

This episode is just as much for healthy musicians as it is for injured musicians.

P.S. If you want to check out the financial community I mentioned, check out JC Rodriguez and Josh Erabu's Money at Peace Skool Community here (not paid promotion, just want to share something awesome with you!):

November 05, 2024 Dr Lesley McAllister Teaches Us How to Combat One of the Biggest Causes of Musician Injury!
Send us a text
Lesley McAllister Show Notes
This episode is for all musicians who struggle with or have struggled with performance anxiety…

Because the evidence shows that performance anxiety leads to unhelpful tension, which can lead to injury.

This episode is ALSO for all musicians who feel overworked

Because studies show that over practicing has several implications that lead to injury.

Dr. Lesley McAllister has not personally experienced an injury, but has written the book on how to have a healthy connection between body and mind, to prevent injury and live a healthy musical life.

We go deep into the reasons why we over practice as musicians.

We explore yoga as a tool to help increase awareness of our mind-body connection.

We dive into how piano instructors and music teachers in general can help their students avoid mental and physical tension.

This is one for the books!

Keep on keepin’ on and trust the process!

Dr Lesley McAllister’s Books: “The Balanced Musician: Integrating Mind and Body for Peak Performance.”

“Yoga in the Music Studio”

Check out the resources mentioned in this week’s interview:

Molly Gebrian’s book “Learn Faster, Perform Better: A Musician’s Guide to the Neuroscience of Practicing”

If you are a musician going through injury, a music educator trying to help one, or a musician just trying to make it in life, then you need to listen to EVERY episode of this up and coming show!

October 31, 2024 If You Are A Workaholic Musician, LISTEN TO THIS!
Send us a text
Oof.

If there was any episode that was for me as much as it was for you, it would be this one.

One of the biggest internal struggles I have had as a musician and as a human being, was overthinking what it REALLY means to work hard.

Does discipline mean never taking breaks, but grinding every day, no excuses?

Some modern media would lead us to believe that.

Does giving yourself grace to take a break mean that you never have to be accountable to your work and your personal growth?

Some people might use that as reasoning not to grow...

This episode is for all the workaholic musicians out there, who are struggling to find a balance in the essential PARTNERSHIP between discipline and grace!

Keep on keepin' on and trust the process!

October 29, 2024 THIS is WHY You Need to Take OWNERSHIP of Your Recovery! With Jaden Bueno
Send us a text
This interview was one of those full circle moments for me.

Jaden has been one of my closest friends over the last several years.

We connected for the first time as a gig, as two young, bright eyed and bushy tailed trumpeters, breaking onto the Utah music scene.

During the span of that gig, Jaden told me a story:

"About a year ago I tore my lip..."

I didn't even know this was possible...

Jaden would be the first to tell you that his injury story is a masterclass in what NOT to do to play healthy...

But I absolutely loved how he shared the ways that he has grown past that since his injury.

And yet, less than a year later, I was calling him up, desperate for advice, because I had indeed, torn my lip.

I am so grateful for Jaden's support and kind heart that he has shown me throughout my injury journey, and I hope his story does the same for you!

Check out Jaden's new happenings here:

October 24, 2024 When Panning For Gold, Look for DIAMONDS!
Send us a text
Man, I was FIRED UP after recording this one (and editing it too!)

This episode, is the crux of the show.

This principle is what helped me see the potential my injury had to change my life for the better.

Not just my trumpet playing.

When we get injured, all we want is to get healthy again to be able to perform like we used to.

That recovery is worth more than gold to us.

But what if there was more to learn, more to grow into, and all of that was to be found on the recovery journey?

What if, while on that journey to get our "gold" back, we found diamonds?

This episode is SO IMPORTANT to internalize.

I sincerely hope this one hits home for you.

Because it certainly did for me.

October 22, 2024 Are You a Music Educator? This One's for You! With Dr Stephen Caplan
Send us a text
This one is for the music educators out there.

Especially collegiate music educators.

First off, thank you.

Thank you for the care you put into your programs, the love you instill in your students for the music you make together.

The relationship between professor and pupil has the beautiful potential of being a long lasting one.

But, as renowned oboist and body map instructor Dr Stephen Caplan and I both agree...

There is room for improvement.

Room for improvement in how we teach the students about the role their mind and body play in producing beautiful music, and how CRITICAL that relationship is to their success.

Dr Caplan's journey with musician's health and body mapping began when he saw the writing on the wall, which prevented personal injury.

Well, it's our hope that you see the writing on the wall as well, and help us prevent more injury, so MORE musicians can make beautiful music throughout a fruitful, full career.

Keep on keepin' on and trust the process!

October 17, 2024 THIS Habit Will NEVER Help You Recover From Your Injury!
Send us a text
Today I share one of the toughest lessons I have had to learn on my injury journey.

How to deal with the difficult emotions that come with this type of experience.

We hear "don't worry, be happy!" yet it seems impossible in the moment.

On the same token, we hear "let yourself be sad for a while..." but that kind of sucks to feel!

So where do we draw the line.

Today we talk about the difference between grief and self-pity, or as I like to call them - pity parties.

We talk about how to determine the difference between disappointment and discouragement.

And how to leverage those difficult emotions into tools to help you THRIVE in your injury recovery journey.

October 10, 2024 THIS is How to use TIME to Your Advantage as an Injured Musician!
Send us a text
Deadlines.

Our lives are full of them.

And when we are recovering from injury, we try to set our own deadlines for recovery.

Ever thought this? - "As long as I get healed up before __________, then I am fine"

Could be a performance, audition, new semester, etc.

Yet those deadlines could actually slow us down in our recovery.

So how do we use time to our advantage?

In this episode I show you how to use TIMEFRAMES instead of deadlines to heal and bounce forward from your injury.

This is not one to miss!
