Gerald Klickstein believes in change. Gerald and Kai discuss the moment he realized he could make a difference in higher education (7:30), his ideas for what students, especially in undergrad, should be learning (10), and a mindset problem specific to classical music (31). They also talk about why music schools have such a hard time changing their curriculum (48) and the thoughts that might be running through the minds of teachers most resistant to change (45).  

Welcome back to this special pair of episodes celebrating hitting the 100 mark of the Musicality Podcast! If you haven't already heard Episode 100 then make sure you go back and listen to it too because both that one and this one are jam-packed with incredible insights from over two-dozen expert guests, answering the question: “What’s one thing you’ve learned that could help musicians to tap into their inner musicality?” In the last episode we heard from 11 experts whose answers to this question were varied and fascinating. There were some common themes, some of which you'll hear coming up again in this episode, but each guest also brought their own unique perspective and insight to the question. We’ll talk a little more at the end of this episode about those recurring themes and how we can learn more from them. We said last time that we’d tried to group the experts to make for two great episodes to listen to, but apart from that there's no meaning to the order - so the line-up for this episode is just as impressive as the first one. In this episode you'll be hearing: • Bill Hilton, author of "How to Really Play the Piano" talking about the level of instrument technique required to sound truly musical. • Book author, podcaster, song-writer and musician David Andrew Wiebe of MusicEntrepreneurHQ.com revealing three things that can help you sound more like a pro. • Innovator in school music education Casey von Neumann of Eclectic Music and CaseyMcCann.com sharing the tip that let her sound just as musical as her incredibly accomplished teacher. • Leading teacher-of-teachers Sara Campbell of SarasMusicStudio, and our Resident Pro for piano here at Musical U, explaining why young children are often more in touch with their inner musicality and what we can learn from that. • Practice expert Chris Owenby from PracticeHabits.co talking about what it takes to become an accomplished musician like the greats we admire. • Rising star singer-songwriter Kendra McKinley pointing out the thing you're probably forgetting to listen to which could make you sound more musical. • Actress, singer, writer and cabaret expert Fiona-Jane Weston discussing the relationship between technique and artistry, and how to unlock the potential in a piece of music. • Composer and guitar educator David Wallimann on escaping the constraints your instrument might be placing on you. • Author of the must-have handbook for aspiring musicians, "The Musician's Way", Gerald Klickstein, on one activity that will transform your musicality and why it's more vital for music than other artforms. • Music technology expert Katie Wardrobe on one non-tech thing she does to develop her musical understanding. • World-leading vocal expert and sight-reading pro Jeremy Fisher on how to overcome tricky spots and learn music faster. • Creative music teaching expert Leila Viss on the mindset shift required to uncover your own creative voice. • Music theory innovator Scott Sharp on the special way of thinking about keys and chords that can let you understand what's going on in the music you hear and play. • And Vincent James, the man behind some of the most inspiring events and books in the world of music tops off our episode with some counter-intuitive advice for connecting musically with your audience. Are you excited? We’ve already heard all these and we’re excited all over again just talking through them! Before we dive in, if you're somebody who relishes this kind of musicality insight and knowledge then you are not going to want to miss the special edition we've put together to celebrate this 100th episode.

Welcome to episode 100 of the Musicality Podcast! It is hard to believe - but we have reached Episode 100 of the podcast! It's been just about a year since we launched the show and it has been an absolute blast. We knew it would be fun to connect with interesting people and talk about musicality, but we had no idea just how incredible it would be. We've been blown away by the amazing people who've joined us on the show so far. We wanted to do something special to mark Episode 100 - and we'll tell you in a minute what we've got for you, it's truly something remarkable. So we talked about what to do in the team. And we're all hugely appreciative of *you* and everybody who listens to the show. So we thought about asking for listener contributions of comments or questions. But the thing is, for the most part, you guys are pretty shy! We know from the download numbers that there are a ton of people listening, but it's relatively rare that we get a new review or someone reaches out by email or leaves us a voice message. And we get that! Hey, a big part of what we do at Musical U is helping people become more confident in music and be proud that they're actively learning the skills that most people assume require musical "talent". But we know a lot of you listening aren’t there yet - So it would be a bit nuts to expect our podcast listeners to be rushing forwards bravely to put themselves out there and get in touch! So we didn't do that. But we did just want to mention it here so you all know how much we appreciate you, remind you that you are always welcome to get in touch at musicalitypodcast.com/hello - and give us the opportunity to say a big thank you for listening to the show. A special thank you of course to our *members* at Musical U who've trusted us with their musicality training and provide the financial support we need to put this podcast out for free every week. So when we were talking with the team about what we could do to celebrate hitting Episode 100 the other idea that quickly came up was that we could recap some of the stand-out lessons and quotes from our amazing interviewees. Which would be cool. But you know what would be even cooler? If we could get those same superstars to contribute something fresh and new - and something that would be really impactful on *your* musical life. So that's what we did. And a huge thank you to all our past guests who contributed a clip. We were hoping to get a handful back - and ended up with 26 contributions! The question we asked was: ”What’s one thing you’ve learned that could help musicians to tap into their inner musicality?” So what you have here - and these are going to run into a second episode too because there were so many! What you have here is an incredible collection of the most punchy insights and wisdom from more than two dozen of the world's leading music educators and musicality experts, all in one place. We have Gerald Klickstein, author of the must-have handbook for aspiring musicians, The Musician's Way. We've got the guys from the Music Student 101 podcast, my favourite podcast for learning about music theory. We have #1 Billboard hit singer and award-winning song-writer Judy Rodman. We have David Reed, the man behind the terrific Improvise For Real method for learning to improvise. We have Forrest Kinney, author of the immensely popular Pattern Play series of piano books. And I could go on and on... This might actually blow your mind a little bit, we know that we had to take breaks when listening to the clips to let things sink in a bit before absorbing more! And we're going to be splitting this episode in two, because there's no way you could sensibly absorb all of this in one go...! And speaking of jam-packed with amazing insights - before we dive into those answers from past guests, we must let you know about the Musicality Podcast Power Pack. To celebrate hitting episode 100 and all of the amazing guests we've had, we went back into all the archives, collected together all 100 episodes and then we found and created a bunch of cool extra bonus resources and material to help you get the maximum possible impact from everything in the podcast so far. We've put it all on a handy USB thumb drive so you can literally have the world's top musicality experts in the palm of your hand. We're making this available for a limited time only with free worldwide shipping. To get your copy, visit musicalitypodcast.com/celebrate - and of course not only will you be getting this fantastic resource to accelerate your own musicality training, you'll also be supporting the show. We should also mention this would be an awesome gift for a musical friend or family member. So if you enjoy the show, and whether you've listened to one episode or all hundred, please go check out musicalitypodcast.com/celebrate and see all the cool stuff we've packed into the Musicality Podcast Power Pack for you. This will be available for a limited time so go take a look today! Okay, so in this episode you're going to hear the first 11 experts answering the question: ”What’s one thing you’ve learned that could help musicians to tap into their inner musicality?” These are in no particular order, except that I've tried to group them to make for two great episodes for you to listen to. In this episode you're going to hear: • Respected author Forrest Kinney, talking about the adventure of playing. • Saxophone guru Donna Schwartz with the one crucial thing that might be stopping your performance from sounding musical and resonating with your audience. • Our very own Andrew Bishko talking about "practicing magic". • Jazz guitarist and the man behind Learn Jazz Standards Brent Vaartstra sharing the one thing you must focus on to have consistent long-term success. • Improvisation expert David Reed about when to introduce improvising into your musicality training. • Thought leader among piano teachers Dr. Melody Payne about the simple rules that can make you sound more musical. • Award-winning musician and Lydian Chromatic Concept expert Andy Wasserman talking about the "treasure hunt" of unlocking your musicality. • School music ed revolutionary Jimmy Rotheram talking about the four things which greatly impacted his own musicality. • Award-winning artist, song-writer and vocal coach Judy Rodman explaining what makes music compelling for the audience. • Natalie Weber from the world-famous Music Matters Blog on what helped her as an analytical person tap into her creative side. • And our friends Matthew Scott Phillips and Jeremy Burns from Music Student 101 round off this first episode by sharing several activities which can help you continually "level up" your musicality.   Enough from me!

Today we’re joined by Dave Isaacs, a man known as the “Guitar Guru of Nashville”. Dave has been teaching music for over thirty years and provides online courses at JamPlay.com. Dave is also a performing artist, releasing ten CDs of his own and continuing to perform with an Americana trio called Renfree Isaacs. Dave wrote a terrific guest post on song writing and arranging for the Musical U website last year and we were keen to pick his brains on songwriting advice - but in this conversation we also go deep into his own journey as a musician, the interplay of theory, instrument skills and your musical ear, and how he discovered the improviser’s mindset.   Dave shares:   • The trick to breaking into improv if it’s always seemed intimidating, and how he discovered this almost by accident. • His two big tips for songwriters looking to improve. • What causes many musicians to stall or plateau after learning for a few years, and how you can best tackle that and get moving again.   Dave has had a particularly interesting journey as a musician and it’s left him with true wisdom when it comes to the right mindset for teaching and learning music. We hope you’ll find this conversation as enlightening and inspiring as we did.   Subscribe For Future Episodes!

Have you ever wondered if professional musicians have some special ability or received special teaching that helps them be creative, improve faster and be somehow immune to performance anxiety? It turns out there are “under the hood” techniques which any musician can use to gain these same abilities, and transform the experience of learning music into one of joy and ease. Today on the podcast we’re joined by Gerald Klickstein, author of a ground-breaking book which is widely respected in the world of music education: The Musician’s Way. Written as a handbook for the aspiring professional musician it’s packed with insights and strategies that can actually empower any musician. It tackles some of the most confusing and frustrating problems that musicians face, regardless of their instrument, musical style or career aspirations. Topics like: how to design your practice to actually achieve results quickly and consistently. How to gain confidence to perform, even if it terrifies you. And how to nurture your creativity and collaborate well with other musicians. The book reveals the hidden areas which professional musicians benefit from for learning, playing and performing – but which are generally left out of traditional instrument lessons. Gerald has extensive experience as a teacher including on the faculty of several US universities – but the book isn’t based only on his own ideas and opinions. It’s evidence-based, meaning he’s drawing on a wide body of research and sharing what has been proven to work.   In this conversation Gerald shares: • One unorthodox but incredibly valuable piece of advice on how to choose the exercises and pieces you work on. • A simple but effective way for anybody to overcome performance anxiety using a practical process, as well as a really useful framework for thinking about what’s causing your anxiety when it arises. • A great tip for anyone who’s wanted to record themselves playing but found it a really intimidating and stressful experience. • Plus how the experts take full advantage of their “musical autopilot” – but without leaving themselves prone to performance freeze-ups due to relying on it.   If you’ve ever struggled to make your practice time deliver real results, or you’ve had any anxiety around performing music then you’re going to love this episode and how it opens your mind in new and useful ways.   Subscribe For Future Episodes!
