Today Jacqui & Bryan are discussing practicing effectively. We've all heard the saying, practice makes perfect - and, at one point or another, I'm sure we've all witnessed a professional in their given field demonstrate this, whether in professional sports or at a concert or at the ballet. But what's behind this idea? And is any one type of practice better than the next? Annie Bosler and Don Greene in collaboration with Ted Ed define by explaining that the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement helps us perform with more ease, speed, and confidence.

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. 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. Subscribe For Future Episodes!

Today we have the pleasure of talking with Dr. Don Greene, one of the world's leading experts and practitioners of performance psychology. In his 30-year career Dr. Greene has coached more than 1,000 performers, including top-tier symphony musicians and Olympic gold medalists. Dr. Greene has written eight books, two of which we discuss in this conversation, Performance Success and College Prep for Musicians. He also publishes articles covering all aspects of peak performance psychology for music, sports and all performing disciplines on his website, Winning on Stage. You may be familiar with some of the ideas in this interview, such as visualisation and positive self-talk. However, If you’re like most music learners, you've probably come across these ideas in vague blog posts or conversation. You're going to find it hugely valuable to hear from a performance psychologist who's worked with world-class performers across several disciplines for many years. We talk about: • Why trying to feel relaxed is not actually the route to reliable performance under pressure • The five areas you can assess yourself on, to know how best to improve your own performance abilities. • The importance of a so-called "pre-shot routine" that can help you perform at your best even when your heart is pounding This conversation is going to equip you with some valuable new insights and strategies to apply in your musical life and open your eyes to what might be possible for you!

In our second annual Classical Classroom Summer Music Festival Series, we hit the (sound)waves at the Music Academy of the West in sunny Santa Barbara, California! The second installment of our MAW series features trumpet player, performance coach, and educator, Bill Williams. Williams initially spent his career as principal trumpet for orchestras like San Francisco, Santa Fe, and Barcelona. But when performances began to induce anxieties and other distractions, he started seeking ways to regain focus. As it turns out, Bill wasn’t alone: many musicians perform in spite of the fear of doing so. Williams’ research led him to meet sport psychologist Dr. Don Greene. Eventually, Williams honed a series of techniques to help improve musicians’ focus, and with it, their performance. In this episode, Williams talks all about common mental blocks that come up for classical musicians and how he now spends much of his time helping people overcome them, one psychological bear at a time. Music in this episode: “Pipeline” as recorded by the Ventures Glen Gould: Bach Goldberg Variations San Francisco Symphony Mahler Symphony No. 5 Audio production by Todd “Triple Lutz” Hulslander with perfect landing by Dacia Clay and editing by Mark DiClaudio. Many thanks to the Music Academy for their help with this series – especially to Kate Oberjat, whose name rhymes with “clover yacht,” and who has helped us an awful lot.
Today’s show features Brandon McLean, who just won the associate principal bass position for the Pittsburgh Symphony. Brandon has most recently served as principal bass of the Colorado Symphony, and prior to that he held positions in the Vancouver Symphony and the Florida Orchestra. Originally from Seattle, Brandon did his undergrad at the University of North Texas, his masters at the Boston Conservatory, and studied at Carnegie Mellon after that with Pittsburgh Symphony principal bassist Jeff Turner. He played in the New World Symphony before landing his first gig with the Florida Orchestra. We dig into the details of the audition process, like how Brandon starts preparing long-term for the audition and how that preparation changes as the audition approaches, Brandon’s technique routine, which he keeps up throughout the audition process, the benefits of getting to practice in a large space like a concert hall, and routines in the days prior to the audition. We also feature excerpts of Brandon performing the Dave Anderson Duets with Brendan Kane. Books mentioned: Audition Success by Don Greene Performance Success by Don Greene Interview Highlights Audition Preparation Strategies the process starts right after finding out what the list is looks at what are the more problematic excerpts for him and begins by spending time on those about 5 weeks out, he starts to get more disciplined for a long time did the system of ranking what the more difficult excerpts are and spending the most time on those, but he found that then the audition would come up and they’d ask for the excerpts that he didn’t spend as much time on breaks up practice session into 10 minute increments; practices for an hour or an hour-and-a-half in a couple of different segments in the day keeps himself disciplined to no more than 10 minutes on a specific excerpt breaks up the last as many ways as possible: top to bottom bottom to top skip and do every 3rd excerpt 2-3 weeks out, he shortens that 10 minutes per excerpt to 3-4 minutes per except so that he’s hitting everything briefly just about every day Brandon generally runs things at 75% tempo most of the time he can generally play this under tempo—it’s getting them up to tempo that’s the real issue there’s some point between that 75% and 100% tempo that he can usually solve most of the technical problems problems associated with fast excerpts were dealt with away from those excerpts - dealing with technical studies that helped during audition prep, Brandon still spends at least 30-45 minutes still doing scales and technical exercises he cuts that down when getting really close to the audition Brandon’s Technique Routine pick a scale slow bow practice (whole notes) using Intonia software then does a different scale with half notes, quarter notes, etc - gets himself playing pretty quickly do something similar with arpeggios after that right hand practice string crossings spiccato exercises to get his right hand moving a little quicker Playing in a Large Space and Recording the benefits of getting to practice in a large space (concert hall) - he didn’t get this until later in life getting over the idea that he doesn’t really know what he sounds like objectively (similar to getting over the way your voice sounds when you play back a recording) the angle that you play the bass - no one else will ever hear your bass playing from that angle—it’s such a specific thing things started to turn on the audition front for Brandon when he started to get really serious about recording himself Brandon had a pretty steady path of progress in auditioning - not advancing, then getting to semis, then making finals, then runner-up for a bunch of auditions Brandon realized at a certain point that he just wasn’t a very natural audition taker had to start treat audition taking as his job dealing with the mental discipline of audition taking was something that took him a while to get a grasp of Don Greene books helpful in terms of centering, etc. Brandon has gotten away from thinking that he just needed to have a really good day to win an audition after teaching students and observing them nervous and not nervous, he has concluded that there isn’t nearly as much difference in the two states as the students think When he wasn’t doing well in auditions, he had actually lost those auditions months in advance Routines as the Audition Approaches usually flies in the day before - flying in too early usually psyched him out it’s amazing what tiny things can seep into your mind during an audition when he goes, he generally doesn’t talk to people at the audition running is helpful doesn’t try to change anything lifestyle-wise coming up to the audition - changes only cause problems Links from Listener Feedback: Summer Camps for Bassists The Low Down by Danny Ziemann Paul Ellison Interview Todd Coolman Interview I Found a Dead Body
Trevor Jones and I have done joint clinics in the past, but this is the first one since restarting the podcast, and I figured that it would make sense to put it out this week since we just released our conversation a few days ago. This talk was held at Ravinia’s Bennett Gordon Hall as part of the 2016 Chicago Bass Festival, which is an event put on by the Midwest Young Artists Conservatory. Michael Cameron of the University of Illinois and Allan Dennis, former double bass professor at the University of Wisconsin and the MYA executive director, were both in the audience, so you’ll hear us refer to both of them a couple of times during the talk. I left Curtis off of my list of schools putting out successful auditions, but of course that should be at the top of the list! My mistake. Some of the questions from the audience are kind of hard to hear, you’ll get the gist of the question as soon as Trevor and I start talking again. We talk about Don Greene’s excellent books on auditioning—all three are highly recommended: Audition Success Performance Success: Performing Your Best Under Pressure Fight Your Fear and Win: Seven Skills for Performing Your Best Under Pressure

We’re concluding our interview (check out part 1 here) with Metropolitan Opera Orchestra bassist Dan Krekeler this week on the podcast. John Grillo and I co-interviewed Dan, which was particularly cool since we’ve both known Dan for many years. I played with Dan in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and John went to Indiana University with him as an undergraduate. It’s great to see an old friend have such great professional success, and it was a lot of fun to catch up with Dan and hear about his experiences on the road to a major orchestral position. In our conversations about audition prep, Dan brings up musician coach Don Greene, and I realized that we’ve never actually talked about Don before on any blog posts or podcasts. This is surprising, since I’m a big fan of Don’s concepts and strategies for successful auditioning, so we’ll have to delve more into that topic at a later date. Subscribe: iTunes | Android | Email
