    247: If it makes you laugh, GOOD! (with Jeffrey Agrell) Apr 23, 2024
    Show notes

    We're joined by Jeffrey Agrell, a returning guest on the show, and one of our absolute favourite music educators. Jeffrey has authored half a dozen books providing "games" which serve as a gateway into creativity and improvisation - even for the most buttoned-up, perfectionist classical players!

    In this short conversation before his Musical U masterclass on Rhythm Improv Games, Jeffrey shares:

    • Why one of his best character traits is... having a very high tolerance for looking foolish!

    • An elegantly simple definition of Creativity: "it just means 'do something different'."

    • And why something you play seeming silly or making you laugh is actually a GOOD thing.

    239: Getting Out Of Your Own Way, with Dylan Hart May 15, 2020
    Show notes

    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.

    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 conversation packed with thought-provoking ideas.

    238: Pathways: Oli Fuhrmann May 10, 2020
    Show notes

    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.

    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.
