**Please be sure to catch the link to a powerful testimonial about Greg's practice below! JN In this episode, Greg Spence of Mystery to Mastery and Denver-based amateur trumpeter Julie Baxes discuss experiences and strategies for overcoming focal dystonia. Recorded at the recent ITG conference in Anaheim, Julie shares her near-recovery journey from dystonia, while Greg explains how his Mystery to Mastery program unintentionally became a beacon for dystonia sufferers. Julie candidly describes her initial focal dystonia symptoms, her reconnection with Greg during COVID, and the intensive process of understanding and managing the condition. She recounts her personal struggles, including a misinterpretation of feedback from a conductor,which led to a great deal of personal shame. Ultimately this led to a loss of control of her physical abilities, and even a sense of isolation from the music community.Listen to Julie recount her determined comeback into the ranks of performing artists through patience, a conscientious mindset re: music and finding her place in her local scene given her experiences.Emphasized throughout the interview is the importance of stillness, error detection, and a step-by-step approach to remapping neural pathways. Julie and Greg both stress the need for open conversations about focal dystonia in the musician community and the importance of catching early signs. The episode closes with advice for those potentially facing the condition and a call to action for orchestras and universities to support affected musicians.Episode highlights01:46 Julie's Journey with Focal Dystonia02:07 Greg's Teaching Approach04:00 The Mystery to Mastery Program05:50 Understanding Stillness and Anxiety14:00 Julie's Personal Struggles34:23 The Challenge of Achieving Stillness35:35 The Importance of Closing Your Eyes37:16 Understanding Focal Dystonia39:47 The Error Trilogy: Detection, Rejection, Correction40:40 Personal Experiences and Techniques41:52 The Role of Psychological Factors43:22 The Journey to Recovery49:12 The Importance of Open Communication53:59 Distinguishing Focal Dystonia from Performance Anxiety56:07 Advice for Musicians to Prevent Focal Dystonia01:04:39 Final Thoughts and EncouragementResources mentioned:Mystery to Mastery"Greg Spence Changed My Life" videoAbout the guests:Julie Baxes is an amateur trumpet player who began her music journey as a pianist, performing with church choirs, in small ensembles and for weddings and other special occasions.

From playing lead trumpet at Carnegie Hall in New York to presenting for The International Trumpet Guild Conference, Yamaha Artist Greg Spence, has “been there and done that,” on the world's biggest stages as a performer and educator.

Julie Baxes is an amateur trumpet player who began her music journey as a pianist, performing with church choirs, in small ensembles and for weddings and other special occasions. She picked up trumpet in her mid 40s and has studied with a variety of teachers over the years, most recently working exclusively with Greg Spence for the past 3 years. Julie has performed with the Jeffco Community Band, Jeffco Brass, and the Rocky Mountain Brassworks, a British-style brass band that performs in metro area venues.    She began experiencing obvious symptoms of musician's focal dystonia about 6 years ago. These migrated from rehearsals and performances to lessons and, eventually, the practice room, requiring her to leave her performing groups. Fortunately, she reconnected with Greg Spence after briefly studying with him previously. Together, they have been extensively researching musician's focal dystonia, recording hundreds of session hours and developing comprehensive, effective recovery strategies. As a result, Julie  has made remarkable progress toward her return to rehearsals and gigs.  Julie has worked in the marketing communications and public affairs field for more than 30 years as a writer, editor, public speaker, staff manager, marketing and public affairs strategist, and special events manager. She holds a BA in journalism and a marketing minor from Arizona State.

I used to tell a joke about Sleipnir, but it didn't have legs. I used to tell a joke about Prometheus, but it needed a spark. I used to tell a joke about Draupnir, but it just didn't ever end. I used to tell a joke about Marathon, but it was a bit of a long walk. I used to tell a joke about the Hecatoncheires, but it was punching down. I used to tell a joke about Tyr, but it wasn't even-handed. I used to tell a joke about Ragnarok, but everyone knew the end already. I used to tell a joke about Jormungand, but it was very toxic. I used to tell a joke about Pandora, but it was too out of the box. I used to tell a joke about Cerberus, but it was just gatekeeping. I used to tell a joke about Yggdrasil, but I had to leaf. I used to tell a joke about the labyrinth's inhabitant, but it was bull. I used to tell a joke about the sword of Damocles, but it was over my head. I used to tell a joke about Procrustes, but I kept getting cut off. I used to tell a joke about Sisyphus, but I got tired of the repetition. I used to tell a joke about Penelope's crafting, but it was just an excuse to kill time. I used to tell a joke about the Golden Apple, but it caused too many arguments. I used to tell a joke about Gordian succession, but it was a tangled mess. I used to tell a joke about Minerva's bird, but I can't remember owl of it.01:58 AYURIS: Caylus 1303 (William Attia, Space Cowboys, 2019)Games Played Last Week:04:38 -Regicide (Paul Abrahams, Luke Badger, & Andy Richdale, Badgers from Mars, 2020)05:55 -Rhino Hero Super Battle (Scott Frisco & Steven Strumpf, HABA, 2017)06:00 -Kabuto Sumo (Tony Miller, BoardGameTables.com, 2021)06:37 -Shards of Infinity: Shadow of Salvation (Justin Gary & Ryan Sutherland, Stone Blade Entertainment, 2019)07:07 -Star Realms (Robert Dougherty & Darwin Kastle, Wise Wizard, 2014)09:06 -Root (Cole Wehrle, Leder Games, 2018)11:39 -Faiyum (Friedemann Friese, 2F-Spiele, 2020)12:45 -Descent: Legends in the Dark (Kara Centell-Dunk & Nathan I.
