Join Wendy and me for a chat about women composers. Wendy Velasco is an absolute BOSS in the Los Angeles string scene, and gave me real encouragement early on in my career. She is a treasure, and I have so much respect for everything she does in service of the music community.

This is a short track designed to be listened to just before you attend your lesson. Over a background of muted ambient music, I offer a few mind decluttering statements to give you the space to learn openly, without anxiety or judgement. I hope you have a wonderful lesson. ❤️

Noa Kageyama's (MM, PhD) blog Bulletproof Musician has been essential reading for a lot of us since it began. It was such a treat to sit down and chat with Noa about how he got started, studying with Shinichi Suzuki, challenging the Gladwellification of performance psychology data, and so much more.
