We’re joined by Dylan Hart, one of the top French Horn players in Hollywood today. He has played on many well-known soundtracks including Moana, Frozen, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Baywatch, The Good Place, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. http://musl.ink/pod239
You’re about to hear Dylan’s unlikely journey to becoming a highly-successful session player, concert performer, and French horn teacher.
In this conversation Dylan shares:
– The importance of “getting out of your own way” when playing – and how to do that.
– His unexpected advice on how to sight read at the extremely high level required of session players.
– Why we must look for the root cause of problems rather than just treating symptoms – and how that applies to practicing off your instrument, sight-reading, and
performing at your best under pressure.
In everything he does and teaches, Dylan has a focus on the inner instinct for music and a deep connection with your instrument. You’re going to love this inspiring conversation packed with thought-provoking ideas.

We are excited to bring you another inspiring edition of Pathways. In this special series of episodes you’ll hear the stories of music-learners just like you, reaching out and lending each other a hand on our musical journeys. We’re speaking with Oli Fuhrmann, a swing dancer and swing dance teacher from Berlin, Germany. http://musl.ink/pod238
Oli started learning piano and trombone in the last three years to play the music he loves to dance to. He’s eager to try new things and happy to risk failure. You’ll hear how his attitude has really payed off for his music learning and the richness of his musical life.
In this conversation Oli shares:
– Why it was easy for him to start joining jam sessions despite being only a beginner-to-intermediate player – and a few specific tips for how you can make it easy for yourself.
– How learning trombone was relatively simple after piano, and why he realised the importance of a good musical ear.
– How he discovered the power of community support as part of his online learning.
Enjoy this episode and be inspired to be more bold and risk new endeavours in your own musical journey. http://musl.ink/pod238

Have you been feeling stuck on something challenging in music? A section of a piece, a specific technique, an overall plateau, or maybe practice goes fine but then everything falls apart in live performance. http://musl.ink/pod237
Have you felt like you just don’t have enough time for learning your instrument and learning new music? Maybe you feel like you’re putting in the time and effort but just don’t seem to be getting much payoff in terms of results.
Have you been frustrated by struggling to memorise things, or finding the things you did work hard to memorise slip away over time?
Or maybe it feels like whatever you try, you’re just spinning in circles, or tripping yourself up, so that you never quite make solid progress towards your musical goals – like there’s something continually sabotaging you – and it might just be all in your head.
If you’ve felt one or more of these frustrations in your musical life you are certainly not alone.
And believe it or not, there’s a single solution which can quickly eliminate all of these challenges.
It’s time to re-learn what it means to “learn music”.
It’s time to discover the techniques of musical superlearning.
Sounds cool, right?
But what does that mean, exactly?
That’s what we’ll be talking about in this special episode with Andrew from the Musical U team. Stay tuned! http://musl.ink/pod237
