Musicality is one of those qualities teachers ask for constantly, and yet almost never explain. "Be more musical. Feel the music. Let it move through you..." But what does that actually mean?In this episode, I'm back with Chelsea Weidmann, The Geeky Ballerina, as part of our ongoing series unpacking the elements of artistry she identified in her thesis on Artistry in Ballet. Today's topic: musicality — one of the most personal and most debated elements of all.In this episode we talk about whether musicality is something you're born with or something you can learn, why so many dancers can hear the music but struggle to translate it into their body (and why that's ok!) and Chelsea's clarifying framework for musicality (including elements like rhythm, tempo, dynamics, and more!)If you've ever been told to be more musical but had no idea where to start, this episode will give you a framework, a language, and some practical tools to actually get there.

Listen to Conversations on Dance ad-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/conversationsondanceToday on the Conversations on Dance podcast, we talk with former New York City Ballet dancer and Balanchine répétiteur Deborah Wingert about her early training at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, where rigorous daily classes, musical and artistic context, and early teaching responsibilities shaped her discipline and curiosity. Wingert recounts being accepted to the School of American Ballet, performing key workshop roles, and joining NYCB at 16, including formative experiences and personal coaching from George Balanchine before his death in 1983. She describes thriving as a detail-oriented “sponge,” navigating later casting and body-image pressures, and building a wide repertory across Balanchine and Robbins works. After leaving NYCB, she began teaching privately and at multiple New York schools, then expanded into staging Balanchine works around the world.00:00 Meet The Hosts00:11 Debra Wingert Overview01:35 First Ballet Spark04:16 CPYB Magic And Context06:31 Rigor And Early Teaching14:24 SAB Audition And Move16:50 Workshop Breakthrough Roles18:57 Joining NYCB At Sixteen25:10 Balanchine Coaching Moments27:21 Life After Balanchine28:19 Other SAB Teachers33:22 Body Image And Confidence35:09 Backstage Ballet Devotion35:34 Staying in the Company36:39 Outside Projects and Robbins38:07 Leaving NYCB and Starting to Teach40:55 Outreach and Repertory Staging43:10 Learning to Stage New Works45:33 Musicality and Version Options51:18 Keeping Patterns and Details Alive55:56 Dream Ballets and Future Stagings01:04:06 Closing Thanks and SignoffLINKS:Website: conversationsondancepod.comInstagram: @conversationsondanceCOD MerchListen to COD on YouTubeJoin our email listSponsorship information Hosted on Acast.

This episode is a special one for me: Steve Gadd.Steve is not just a great drummer. He is one of those rare musicians whose feel and sound are instantly recognizable. A few seconds in, and you know it's him. He has been a first-call presence on recordings and tours for decades, and somehow, he makes the most complex things feel relaxed and human. Spending time with him for this conversation was a real honor.We begin in the present. In 2026, Steve is still moving forward with curiosity and purpose. He talks about starting the year with the Love Rocks benefit in New York, touring Europe with Michael Blicher and Dan Hemmer, rehearsing and touring with Paul Simon, and heading out again with James Taylor. Later in the year, he is back with Simon Oslender and Will Lee, a project that clearly brings him joy. You can hear how much he values character, maturity, and the spirit of the bandstand.We trace the roots of his musicianship through his time in the Army Field Band during the Vietnam era. Daily chart reading sharpened his time, discipline, and mindset. It was not always fun, but it was formative. He also reflects on mentorship, from Stanley Street to John Beck, and how those teachers shaped not just his hands but his confidence and identity.Steve speaks candidly about insecurity and imposter syndrome, about how reading is a skill that fades without use, and how repetition is the real secret. No shortcuts. We also dive into sound, volume, and dynamics. He shares his thoughts on live versus studio playing, the challenges of modern stage volume, and why the best shows begin at a real level and let the music breathe.What stays with me most is his philosophy. It is not about ego. It is about service, supporting the song, making the artist comfortable, and being a good teammate. This conversation captures a legend who is still learning, still listening, and still chasing feel and sound in the purest way.Music from the Episode:I Gotta Try (Michael McDonald)On a Roll (Live) (Simon Oslender)September Grass (James Taylor)My Rival (Steely Dan)Thank you for listening.

What if law school trained lawyers not just to think, but to show up fully in the real world?Performance coach and lawyer Paul Marchegiani joins Jonathan Cohen to explain why legal education must go beyond seated lectures and embed physical presence, communication, and embodied learning into how future lawyers are taught — especially in an era shaped by AI and client expectations.

Why it's not about being born a great communicator, but becoming one.The greatest communicators aren't always great from the start. As Lerone Martin knows, even the great Martin Luther King Jr. had to practice before he could persuade.Martin is the Martin Luther King Jr. Centennial Professor at Stanford, and as director of the King Research and Education Institute, he has spent years studying how King developed his brilliant communication that continues to captivate audiences to this day. “This is a skill that Martin developed over years,” Martin says. “There are stories of him practicing in the mirror... And I think it speaks to us about how we can develop this skill over time.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Martin and host Matt Abrahams unpack the techniques behind King's legendary speeches, from the musicality of his voice to his use of repetition and narrative structure. Whether you're preparing a speech or building conversation skills, Martin highlights King's example to show that great communication isn't always born — it's built.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Lerone MartinEp.192 Quick Thinks: How to Supersize Your Stories Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:50) - Why MLK Was So Compelling (04:17) - MLK's Early Speaking Struggles (05:49) - How MLK Practiced and Improved (06:44) - Favorite MLK Speech (07:58) - “I Have A Dream” and Prepared Spontaneity (10:03) - MLK's Core Techniques (13:01) - Repetition, Rhythm, and Momentum (15:30) - Conviction vs. Performative Messaging (19:00) - The Final Three Questions (23:35) - Conclusion ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

In an age where pop culture dominates the airwaves, understanding the rich variety of music beyond the mainstream becomes increasingly important. In this week's episode, journalist and broadcaster Craig Havighurst joins me to talk about his new book "Musicality for Modern Humans," his journey of exploring musical literacy and the importance of 'listening for' something in music. Craig began his journey into music journalism in his late teens, driven in part by a curiosity about why Americans listen to some kinds of music more than others and why certain genres, such as bluegrass, jazz and classical, seem to have become marginalised. A pivotal theme in his book is the idea of musical literacy. Craig explains why understanding music isn't just about formal education or knowing historical context; it's about engaging with music on a personal level. We also chat about why bluegrass is such a successful model for nurturing musical appreciation; how the bluegrass community fosters a culture of amateur musicianship, where fans feel connected to the music-making process, and why this relationship between artists and audiences creates a unique environment that encourages exploration and appreciation of the music. "Musicality for Modern Humans" remind us of the importance of musical literacy and the value of diverse musical experiences but, more than anything, of the fact that listening deeply to music brings huge rewards.For more info on Craig and to buy the book visit www.craighavighurst.com Support the show===Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)

Have you ever thought you were performing one way, only to watch the video back — or get judge feedback — that told a completely different story? That gap is your blind spot.In this episode, Brittany shares her own vulnerable story of being called “spastic” by a judge and how that critique changed her dancing forever. She unpacks how blind spots keep dancers stuck, why feedback can feel uncomfortable but is essential, and how coaching closes the gap between what you intend to show and what the audience actually sees.

(Sep 25, 2025) French singer-songwriter Constance Amiot's homage to the fleeting moment that is the end of summer.

In this recent interview on The Ash Said It Show, rising R&B artist Bria Cheri offered a deep dive into the creative process and powerful message behind her latest single, "Boy Toy." The conversation captivated listeners as Bria explained the song's bold title and its relevance to contemporary relationships. Challenging Norms with a Provocative Title Bria Cheri revealed that the title "Boy Toy" was a deliberate choice, designed to be provocative and challenge traditional gender roles within relationships. She shared that the song's narrative is a powerful blend of personal experience and broader observations, serving as an anthem for reclaiming power and agency. The song redefines the "boy toy" label, transforming it from a term of subservience into a symbol of strength and self-possession. Musicality and Emotional Authenticity Beyond the lyrics, Bria discussed the meticulous crafting of the song's musicality. She highlighted how the instrumentation was carefully chosen to evoke a sense of confidence and empowerment, complementing the single's powerful message. The interview also touched on the vulnerability required to write such authentic lyrics, a challenge Bria embraced to ensure her storytelling remained raw and genuine. What's Next for Bria Cheri Concluding the interview, Bria Cheri hinted that "Boy Toy" is just a glimpse of a larger, upcoming project. Fans can anticipate more music that delves into complex relationship themes, all delivered with her signature blend of soulful R&B and raw emotional honesty. This interview provides a look into Bria Cheri's artistry, cementing her as an artist who uses her music to spark important conversations about modern love, empowerment, and authenticity. Web: https://www.briacheri.com/ Bio: Bria Cheri is a graduate from Long Island University Post with a degree in Broadcast Journalism/Public Relations. She is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She is a singer-songwriter, aspiring actress, dancer, and pianist from Jamaica Queens, NY, who currently resides in Long Island, NY. Bria has spent over a decade perfecting her craft in music professionally for over ten years.   As time progressed, she explored acting in a few independent films as an extra and managed/hosted her own radio show FLAVA at Long Island University. After graduation, Bria Cheri volunteered her time online with several radio stations such as KFSM radio, FreedomKRadio, WRDR radio, Rebel 107.9 and Radiomga.com to support independent artists. She wanted to help promote their music on the networks and interview them to inform a broader audience about their talent. Music has always been a part of Bria Cheri's heart & soul. Her musical influences range from rock, jazz, house music and hip-hop. So, no matter what genre of music the artist had, she always welcomed them to her show in addition to recommending them to the affiliated stations. Today, Bria has been very tenacious with her career.  When she is not performing, she will either write music on her own based on some elements of her experiences, observations, or collaborate with songwriters. Very often she will play the keyboard to create a beat to stimulate her song writing ideas. When she needs additional creative ideas, Bria Cheri notifies her mentor Donnie Klang or songwriter Kyle Davidson. Donnie Klang who is a singer, songwriter, and producer was formerly signed to Bad Boy Records after winning MTV's reality show, “Making the Band 4.” Donnie owns and operates his recording studio with business partner Matthew LaPorter, known as The Loft Sound Studio, LLC in Syosset, NY. He has produced Bria's debut EP titled, "Before the Music" as well as her second EP, “Silent Siren Vol 1, inclusive of other projects. Bria Cheri released her third EP, titled “Phoenix” in 2023, which was produced by Raphael Gibbs from Become Elite Media, LLC. The project encapsulates her growth as an artist and as a woman. This project inspired her to release another video on YouTube, “Don't Worry.' As of April 2023, Bria Cheri's musical journey enabled her the honor of meeting and opening for the legendary Styles P from the Hip-Hop group, The Lox, at Bullet Proof Studios in New Jersey. In 2024, Bria Cheri performed at the “So Fly So Fabulous Fashion Show” in New York City and was interviewed by Sway at SiriusXM on the Sway In The Morning radio show. The So Fly So Fabulous event was the first performance at a fashion show, but the energy from the audience, featuring artists and the DJ made it worthwhile in combination with the phenomenal and unique fashion designs by Sara Louis. Bria Cheri's interview with Sway expressed who she is as an artist and was very appreciative for the opportunity to showcase her talent to a national audience. The interview can be found on YouTube entitled, “Sway's Universe” at https://youtu.be/rKVkfZgWgVw. Currently, a new song “Boy Toy” produced by Donnie Klang with songwriting collaborator Kyle Davidson will be released on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. The song delves into playful roles in dating. It is an upbeat song you can dance to. More music can be found at https://briacheri.bandcamp.com.

In this episode, I share what I saw at Nationals this year — including one dancer who went full-out during a marked run… and ended up winning the overall. Let's talk about how to take class with intention, energy, and purpose so you actually get the results you want.  

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Brett Dietz, Director of Percussion at LSU, and someone who had a tremendous impact on my own family. Brett taught my son Skyler throughout his college years, and I've long admired him as both an educator and an artist. This was a special and personal conversation.We discuss Brett's journey from studying under Michael Burritt at Northwestern to his unexpected opportunity at LSU in 2003, where he has been teaching for over two decades. He reflects on the evolution of the percussion studio, the effects of the 2008 recession and the COVID-19 pandemic on student development, and how the landscape of music education has shifted over the years.We delve into teaching philosophies and how Brett identifies the most minor technical issues that unlock major improvements, and why teaching is ultimately about remembering what it's like to struggle. We also cover the deceptively complex art of triangle and tambourine playing, and how Brett balances classical rigor with kindness and adaptability.And then there's Brett the composer. He shares the backstory behind his works, such as Sharpened Stick and Headcase, and how his early days in a high school garage band with Doug Perkins (yes, that Doug Perkins) led to a lifelong love of composing. He discusses studying under legends like Stanley Leonard, David Stock, and J. Allen Yim, and how those mentors shaped his artistic voice.Whether you're a percussionist, a teacher, or just someone who loves stories about finding your path and making an impact, this episode is packed with insight, warmth, and some great laughs.To learn more about Brett, visit his website.  Thank you for listening!
