Life-long learning can open doors you never imagined. In this episode of Stories from the Hackery, we talk with Chris Miller, an NSS alumnus who pivoted into software development after studying jazz composition and bass performance in college and recently tackled a high-stakes project supporting one of the largest live-streaming events in the world. Chris shares how skills he developed as a musician provided the foundation for a growth-filled software development career. We also explore the value of knowing how to learn—whether it's troubleshooting backend systems, understanding new technologies, or embracing generative AI as another tool in the developer's toolbox. Whether you're just starting your NSS bootcamp, navigating unfamiliar technologies, or simply inspired by stories of growth, this episode highlights the power of continuous learning. It's a story about how curiosity, adaptability, and the willingness to step into unknown territory can shape an extraordinary career. 00:00 - Intro: Meet Chris Miller 02:34 - From Music Major to Software Developer 06:01 - Early Career Experiences at Aspire and CareBridge 15:00 - Moving to HCA and Tackling Large-Scale Healthcare Data 18:52 - Joining Tubi: Initial Projects and Technical Curiosity 21:02 - Scaling Challenges: Preparing to Stream a Major Live Event 24:37 - Musicianship, Mindset, and the Art of Continuous Learning 29:38 - Tubi Scaling Project 36:21 - Key Lessons from Scaling Under Pressure 39:50 - Generative AI: Skepticism, Practicality, and Future Outlook 51:26 - The Role of Understanding in Software Development 56:54 - Closing Thoughts and Reflections Links from the show: Nashville Software School – https://nashvillesoftwareschool.com Tubi – https://tubitv.com HCA Healthcare – https://hcahealthcare.com CareBridge Health – https://www.carebridgehealth.com Aspire Health – https://www.aspirehealthcare.com

It's April 2025 ... and that means it's national Jazz Appreciation Month here in the U.S.! Join host CH as she shares her own journey to not only coming to love the genre - particularly the classics and standards of the 1930s and 40s - but also how it has shaped her sense of musicianship when she resumed playing drums after a 10 year hiatus. She reflects on how the sounds of jazz surrounded her at a young age (even if she wasn't suuuuper interested at the time), and how her original love of playing pop/rock music evolved as her own musical leanings changed over time. She also reminds us of the importance of embracing music - no matter the genre - at any stage of life for the personal enrichment and inspiration it brings to us all.   Show Notes Jazz Appreciation Month (known as "JAM") runs from April 1 - April 30 in the U.S. It culminates with the international celebration of International Day of Jazz on April 30th. For those looking for more information and events that are scheduled for 2025, head over to the National Museum of American History, which founded JAM in 2001 (and of which is where CH pulled the quote that ended our episode). Additionally, CH highly recommends the Ken Burns PBS documentary film, "Jazz", for those looking for a comprehensive examination and tribute to jazz from its earliest origins up to present day. Some of the artists CH mentioned that played in her grandparent's house as she was growing up: Duke Ellington; Billie Holliday; Ella Fitzgerald; Glenn Miller; Benny Goodman; Frank Sinatra; Dean Martin; Nat King Cole. Additionally, her step-father was a fan of Brazilian jazz. The Los Angeles radio station CH also grew up listening to was 94.7 The Wave (now known as The Soul of Southern California).

In this episode of Monique on the Mic, we explore the surprising benefits of recording your singing. Join me, Monique B. Thomas, as I share how self-recording can bridge the gap between perception and reality in your vocal technique. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced singer, recording allows for immediate feedback and insight into areas needing improvement. Learn from my experiences with artists like Damien, who transitioned from songwriter to singer through diligent practice and recording. Plus, I'll cover essential tips for setting up a home studio and using DAWs like GarageBand and Audacity. Don't miss this chance to elevate your vocal game!RESOURCES:Low cost studio set up : The idea is just to get started. This will not give you studio quality, but it will allow you to get used to recording your voice quickly. Don't forget to use garage band (Mac) or Audacity (pc). There are other DAW's as well. 1 Shure SM58 mic - roughly 110€xlr cable - roughly 20€Scarlett Focusrite solo Audio Interface - This connects your mic to your computer - roughly 90€ - 120€headphone, you can use any pair you have that plugs in via mini jack or get a better one for around 100€.If need be, you can use a cheaper mic. Just keep in mind the idea is to get used to recording quickly. Obviously, the better the equipment the better you will sound. The cheapest version and also the lowest quality will be using your phone. Don't over think this. Start where you are and buy better equipment little by little and on a need basis, unless money is not an issue. For a more upscale home studio version or just different options , you'll find plenty of videos on Youtube. Just type, "Home Studio setup". I hope this is helpful.

“I wanted to get kids to work more collaboratively. We say we're a collaborative group, but the conductor is behind the piano teaching the choir parts rather than saying, ‘here's the part I want you to learn. Go learn it. Here are the expectations and come back and self-assess yourself.' So, I designed performance tasks. I'll work on it as a group first, so they have some capacity for it. Then I'll have them break into sectionals and go reinforce it.”William Gunn is the director of music at Plymouth Regional High School where he conducts the Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, and teaches a year long guitar elective.

Maybe you've noticed or maybe you haven't, but these podcasts are organized into three different categories. One category is “Practice and Performing” and another is “Music and Meaning.”  The third category is “Technique and Musicianship.” Technique is one of those self-explanatory items, but musicianship probably needs a little more description.  A common dictionary definition of musicianship is “the skill or artistry involved in performing music.” Other definitions include the word “knowledge” along with skill and artistry. Musicianship as a category is so broad that it actually encompasses everything about playing music except for technique, although technique obviously has a role to play in musicianship as well. I like to define musicianship as the craft of music. It is the part of playing music that is common to musicians whatever instrument they play, or whether they sing or compose. For us harpists, it's everything about music that is not specifically related to the harp. It's note reading and music theory, rhythm and expression, music history and interpretation. There is so much to musicianship that it can feel overwhelming. Where do you begin to start developing your personal musicianship skills? For our discussion today, I want to start with two important ideas. First, you already have a level of musicianship skills. You're not starting from scratch. Developing your musicianship is a process, just like developing your repertoire or your technique.  And secondly, I want to offer a new way to consider musicianship. It's a slightly different perspective, one we will work with today that will help you identify specific things you can do and are already doing to become the musician - and harpist - you want to be.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Join the Hub to access our Live Monday Warm-Ups.

We're not at the Café at Artichoke Music this time. We're in Seaside Oregon at the Seaside Jazz and Blues Festival on March 16rh for a very special occasion . We told composer/pianist Gordon Lee that we wanted to talk to him onstage about the set he was about to play and also his new album. In reality we were going to present to him the first annual award in the name of the late beloved drummer and teacher Carlton Jackson for Excellence in Musical Education and Musicianship. Gordon, a friend and long-time musical collaborator with Carlton did not know anything about it. We surprised him. It was quite a moment.

How Iboga gave Vera Sola her singing voice and cured her lifelong endometriosis. In this episode of Plantscendence, we talk to poet, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Vera Sola, whose musicianship arrived as a shot in the dark after a transformative plant medicine ceremony in 2017. Vera talks about the profound impact that entheogens, and iboga in particular, have had on her creative process, spiritual practice, and physical wellbeing, including her recovery from lifelong debilitating endometriosis. She reflects on the power of sitting with darkness, and how delving into one's shadow self can be a means of “seeing the world through the eyes of a child.” This episode offers valuable advice for those considering embarking on their own journeys, emphasizing the importance of preparation, integration, and choosing the right practitioners.Plantscendence.com

To become a great musician, it's helpful to spend time studying scores, reading books, getting guided instruction, and other things that cost a lot of time and/or money.  However, there are two mindset skills that are free and don't require an expert to teach them to you, and those skills are gratitude and curiosity.  In this episode, I explain why these two skills are crucial to not only guiding you to bigger success as a musician, but also why they are pillars of good mental health.

59: Musicianship, songwriting & Soun Selection in Electronic Music

This week, I have the honor of crossing the pond virtually to discuss the profound yet often overlooked concept of “vocal musicianship.” Joining me is a distinguished guest, David Hill whose passion and advocacy for choral music spans from the professional to the amateur singer. David is the conductor of London’s renowned Bach Choir. We … Continue reading "Episode 171: The Culture of Choral Musicianship with David Hill"

"If you are curious, and if you are open, and if you allow yourself to observe the mundane, you can turn the mundane and the mediocre into magnificent and marvelous." - Jay Acunzo -------------------------------------------------------------------   Jay Acunzo and I delved into the importance of storytelling and how it can be a great equalizer in the competitive world of business and content creation, as well as the critical elements that make a creator or communicator truly stand out in a noisy world.  Jay introduced the concept of the "5 P's": Posture, Process, Practice, Premise, and Performance. The key takeaway is that by combining these five elements – Posture, Process, Practice, Premise, and Performance – creators and communicators can elevate their work, connect more deeply with their audience, and stand out in a meaningful way. It's a refreshing perspective that emphasizes authenticity and human connection in a world filled with noise and competition.  The conversation underscores that in today's crowded content landscape, being the biggest or best is less important than being someone's personal favorite. People make choices based on personal connections and emotional resonance. So, creators and communicators should focus on forging those connections by embracing their uniqueness and sharing their stories. -------------------------------------------------------------------   Here are my show notes:  Fame, success, and building a brand. (0:14) Podcasting, creativity, and personal growth. (2:01) Creativity, growth, and purpose with Joseph Jaffe. (5:25) Taking risks and being vulnerable. (11:46) Musicianship and creativity with a focus on podcasting. (15:22) Creativity, identity, and storytelling. (21:05) Creativity, posture, and performance. (26:26) Podcasting and competition. (32:08) Creativity, empathy, and show development in media. (37:14) Storytelling techniques and personal perspective. (41:52) Storytelling, podcasting, and branding. (47:01) Creating a unique business show with a memorable premise pitch. (51:50) AI's impact on creativity and authenticity. (58:05) Creativity, storytelling, and marketing. (1:02:01)   -------------------------------------------------------------------   "The problem is not bots creating work that resembles exactly you.

This episode with Terry Nigrelli , a trombone player with Broadway experience, brings you right into the heart of the music world. We journey through Terry's musical upbringing and his dedication to the trombone, a passion that took him from private lessons and music summer camps to eventual professional gigs in diverse musical styles.But, it's not all standing ovations and curtain calls. We address the challenging side of being a musician - finding gigs, negotiating payment, and making sure you're not being taken for a ride. We even delve into the delicate art of not selling yourself short, and the all-too-common tendency of becoming your own worst critic. We also dive into Terry's career in music education, reflecting on his experiences in different schools and the joys (and sometimes, hilarious mishaps) of club gigs.Lastly, we turn up the tempo and explore the changing landscape of the music industry, how it influences our performances, and how we adapt. From tempo adjustments and sampling in live performances to understanding the nuances of the tunes we play, every aspect is dissected in detail. We even share our perspectives on non-musicians, peppering in a few interesting anecdotes for good measure. To wrap up, we discuss the role of education in the music industry and reflect on the importance of gratitude and continuous learning. In this episode, Terry and I serve up a symphony of insights, laughter, and shared experiences in the world of music. You won't want to miss it!Support the Show.
