    This is What Pianists Get WRONG About Healthy Technique - With Penelope Roskell

    First of all, I apologize to Ms. Roskell for mispronouncing her last name on the recording (it is pronounced RAWSKell)!! I meant no disrespect and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation! Because she REALLY knows her stuff! She literally wrote the book on it! She is not only a professor at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London, Or the President-Elect of the European Piano Teachers Association But wrote the book The Complete Pianist and the Essential Piano Techniques Book series as well! We talked about what it means to truly warm up at the piano About how a performance injury led her to re-examine every aspect of how she played the piano And how even with learning the physiology of playing the piano, the ultimate purpose is to be able to access our musical artistry at a higher level. Keep on keepin' on, and enjoy this episode!

    REBUILD Your Confidence as an Injured Musician!

    One of the cool benefits I have with the podcast is sharing what I am learning in my masters program in real time! One of the key theories and concepts in confidence building for performers is self efficacy. Self Efficacy (coined by Dr Albert Bandura) is one's belief in their ability to complete a task. No one who has gone through an injury needs to be reminded of how their confidence took a huge hit after their injury. In this episode I talk about key ways that have helped me rebuild my self confidence, as well as ways that can help you regain your confidence as you navigate recovery!

    Don't Worry, Be POSITIVE! Injury Recovery Tips from Trumpeter and Content Creator Josh Rzepka

    Sometimes the best tool we have against adversity is our own attitude. Viktor Frankl, who survived the Holocaust, once said "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." In today's episode I talk with Josh Rzepka, trumpeter, educator, and content creator, about the experiences he has had with injury throughout his career. And yeah, there have been a few of them. He shares what these experiences taught him about leaning on his community, his teachers, and fellow musicians who have experienced injury. About how important it is for educators to make sure their students are getting credible information about technique online (I'm looking at YOU, trumpeters!) And how at the end of the day, one of the greatest tools we have for teaching is positive reinforcement coupled with constructive feedback. Keep on keepin' on!

    Musician: DON'T Fall for These TRAPS!

    This week we hit another Research and Development episode and this one confirmed everything I have been talking about for the last couple years. A couple of European researchers (link below) sought out to determine if there were certain psychological risk factors for overuse injuries in athletes (insert musician there) They measured perfectionistic tendencies, perfectionistic strivings (watch to find out the difference), athletic identity, and coach-athlete relationship. What they found out was that the athletes that experienced overuse injuries the most were those who scored higher in 3 out of 4 of these categories! This study confirmed the mission of Musician Unchained and the Trust the Process Podcast – to provide resources to strengthen musicians against these types of factors! Keep on keepin' on!

    A Clarinetist's Tale: Surviving and Thriving After Brain Surgery with Dr Amy Lee Gabbitas

    Imagine having a normal day with your family, and you get a call: "you have a brain tumor" As a musician, and more importantly, as a human, that would rock your world. Dr Amy Lee Gabbitas (my former boss) shares with me how she was able to go through major brain surgery... How she learned to walk again... How she found other passions through teaching... And how she was able to eventually return to the stage and play music that had helped her through her recovery. Many of you have reached out to me asking to have some on the show who may not have gone through a performance injury, but instead have had a health challenge that affected your ability to play Amy and I sincerely hope that her story brings you some hope and healing through your recovery journey!
