Choose Your Words Carefully, with Glory St. Germain (Ultimate Music Theory)

New musicality video:

We were thrilled to speak with Annie Bosler, a world class French Hornist who has played with John Williams, Josh Groban, Michael Feinstein, Itzhak Perlman and Paul McCartney. Annie has performed for famous shows such as Glee, The Ellen Show, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and The 2020 Grammy Awards ceremony. http://musl.ink/pod225

Surely such a high-level performer is long past any concerns of stage fright or performance anxiety, right? That’s not always the case. In this conversation Annie shares invaluable insights on how top-level professional musicians think about and actively tackle performance anxiety.

We talk about:

– The relationship between performance anxiety, flow states, and getting into “the zone”.

– The specific components of Annie’s own peak performance toolkit and what you might like to try for yourself.

– The lessons she learned from interviewing some of the original Hollywood studio musicians of the golden years.

This conversation will enlighten your overall view of performance flow states – and leave you with some specific tips to help you reach your full performance potential.

How The Best Play Their Best, with Annie Bosler

New musicality video:

We were honoured to speak with Professor Henkjan Honing, one of the leading researchers of music cognition and biomusicology. The science behind musicality is at an exciting early stage, so there are at least as many intriguing questions as answers in this fascinating conversation. http://musl.ink/pod224

Professor Honing has written two books exploring the science of musicality: The Evolving Animal Orchestra discusses what we can learn about musicality from the animal kingdom and The Origins of Musicality details the latest cutting-edge research on where human musicality comes from and how it works.

In this conversation we talk about:

– The crucial research study with newborn infants that changed the whole trajectory of Professor Honing’s research.

– Two surprising facts about absolute pitch (often called perfect pitch) that might completely change how you think about this seemingly-magical skill.

– What the state-of-the-art scientific research tells us about how much musicality is an innate part of us versus a purely-learned skill.

Enjoy this dive into Professor Honing’s perspective on musicality – and gain new appreciation for your own inner musician.

The Biology Of Musicality, with Prof. Henkjan Honing

New musicality video:

We’re joined by Mark Morley-Fletcher from Play in the Zone. Mark is a jazz guitarist turned peak performance specialist. He’s developed a system for helping everyday music learners tackle performance anxiety. http://musl.ink/pod223

Mark has taken ideas and techniques from the world of performance psychology and drawn them in to a clear, coherent framework. He does a fantastic job of tying the underlying concepts behind performance to practical tips you can apply right away in your own musical life.

In this conversation we talk about:

– The non-musical activity that helped Mark draw together the latest research on peak performance into a practical system for musicians.

– The difference between “good” autopilot and “bad autopilot” when it comes to performing.

– The specific things you can do to defuse the negative physical and mental reactions to performance situations.

You’ll love the insight in this episode – whether you’re gearing up for your first performance, or you’re a touring veteran. Jump in and learn how to play your best!

Your Peak Performance Toolkit, with Mark Morley-Fletcher (Play In The Zone)

New musicality video:

Today we’re joined by Diane Allen, a former concertmaster violinist with the Central Oregon Symphony for 15 years. Diane speaks on the topic of flow and finding your own personal “flow strategy” to reach your full potential, in music and anywhere else in your life. http://musl.ink/pod222

In the past, “peak performance” and “performance psychology” were the exclusive realm of top-level professional performers. Now these ideas are becoming more accessible and applicable to everyday learners and musicians. Diane brings a unique perspective to to the world of performance.

In this conversation we talk about:

– How Diane rose to great success in the classical world, then put aside her violin completely – and returned to it later in an innovative way.

– The specific practical steps you can take to find your own connection with a piece of music.

– The three components of getting into the “flow” state – only one of which is normally covered when you hear about flow.

You’ll be excited to apply Diane’s fresh ideas to your own practice and performance. Dive in to this episode and learn how to be at your best!

Getting Into The Music And Into Flow, With Diane Allen

New musicality video:

We are delighted to bring you another exciting 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. Today we’re speaking with Jon Magnusson, a Swedish songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and father who has done what many in our audience dream of: made music his full-time profession. http://musl.ink/pod221

In this inspiring conversation you’ll gain insight not only in to the business side of Jon’s career, but also in the ways he’s dedicated himself to improving his musicality.

We talk about:

– The two key areas of musicality he felt he had to improve, even though he grew up feeling like a very “talented” musician.

– How being a modern day A&R rep has helped his musical and entrepreneurial growth.

– How he’s managed the biggest challenge in making music his full-time gig.

Whether you’re serious about making a career in music – or you’re just a casual hobbyist – you’re going to enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at how business and musicality can help each other.

Pathways: Jon Magnusson

New musicality video:

What if you could learn music so fast, people would assume you’re a genius? Imagine jumping over any learning hurdle, breaking through any plateau, and gaining professional-level instrument skills in a fraction of the time. These things are possible.

One of our most popular recent interviews by far was with Gregg Goodhart of Learn Like A Genius. Gregg specialises in taking all the latest research and understanding of how the human brain can most effectively practice, and actually putting it to practical use, in music lessons and classrooms.

There was so much packed into our conversation with Gregg that we wanted to make this dedicated recap episode to make sure you didn’t miss out on any of the major takeaways. You’ll also hear about the free masterclass Gregg will be presenting at Musical U.

Dive in to this episode for insights from a world-leading expert, and how you can to get access to the detailed training to put it all into practice yourself.

Singing: Chest Voice – Resource Pack Preview

New musicality video:

We are joined by Ruth Power of Piano Picnic, home of high quality online training courses for pianists. However, this is not our usual kind of interview episode. We’ve invited Ruth to talk about something very specific: lead sheets. http://musl.ink/pod219

Ruth brings a fun energy and creativity to the teaching process, and her material is always really cool and interesting. When we heard she was releasing a new course called Lovin’ Leadsheets we knew had to bring her back on the show!

If you’ve never used lead sheets – or you’re already a lead sheet ninja – you’re going to love the nifty ideas and insights Ruth shares about her new course.
