Whiplash (2014) R 1h 46m 5: Whiplash: Are We Rushing or Dragging to Miss The Point About Achievement Culture? Episode Transcript   Episode Page with Pictures Episode Host: Sarah Woolverton-Mohler Co-Host: Jennie Ziverk Carr Screen Cares co-host, Sarah, leads listeners through a discussion about how watching the movie, Whiplash offers a cautionary tale about achievement culture and the price of success. As a culture, we admire those who come from modest means and through a rare recipe of natural talent and dedicated training, become the best in their fields. We love success. We want success. We want our children to achieve success. Yet, what is success? Over the last few years, more and more research has offered cautionary tales about the dangers of living in a culture that values high achievement, of pushing our children to reach the top.  Many fields, like academia, athletics, and the arts promote a competitive atmosphere. Sarah discusses how she's experienced a competitive atmosphere in the world of music and how seeing and discussing the film, Whiplash, has created a lasting impact as she and her husband work to raise their children. A special HUGE thank you to Brooks Milgate! He is an incredibly talented professional musician who composed and created our Screen Cares theme music. He plays shows all over the country and is a consummate professional and stand-up guy. For bookings or for more information, message him on Instagram @brakesmilgate      Screen Shares Rating:  Little Screen* *Please note, while Screen Cares encourages you to share this movie as a reference point to start important conversations with older adolescents, teens or the young adults in your life, it was rated “R” by the MPAA. This movie has strong language, offensive homophobic and other slurs, verbal abuse from a teacher, and intense moments, including a serious car accident. Screen Cares does not condone the use of hate speech in any form, for any reason. We believe that words matter, and no one, ever deserves to have any aspect of their personhood denigrated or belittled.  We feel that there is value in having in-depth conversations about the content of the movie and that the presence of strong language and verbal slurs offer an opportunity for parents/guardians/trusted adults to discuss the importance of word choice. Screen Cares also believes that talking about the theme of high-achievement culture-especially with those who may struggle with perfectionism or who are interested in a creative field-is valuable.    Screen Sparks: Is trauma and sacrifice required for greatness? Do you think that being “good” is sufficient, or do we need to be the best? If you have a creative yearning, what is stopping you from pursuing your art/craft?   Bonus Material-Links and Info Referenced during the show: Official Whiplash website: https://www.sonyclassics.com/whiplash/ The oft-referenced “rushing or dragging scene” can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/VnuImW1dWAk What is the musical method that Sarah referenced?  Visit the Suzuki Association of America's article to learn more about this wonderful method: https://suzukiassociation.org/about/suzuki-method/ Interested in diving deeper into the dark-side of pushing children to success?

Learn more about this incredible musician: https://charlieparkermusic.com https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/charlie-parker-about-charlie-parker/678/ While this feels contrary to theme of this episode about the danger of striving for success at all costs, Whiplash received many awards and commendations. Here is a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accolades_received_by_Whiplash Behind the Scenes-  One of the awards Sarah received. While proud of these accomplishments, Sarah wonders if there are better ways to foster a love of music excellence and enjoyment in young music students. Sarah getting her first violin, and spending time with her paternal grandmother. The hats surely helped with the musical learning.  Sarah, along with her friends and co-musicians in the Booker High School Tornadoes Marching Band in a public performance.  Liam and Violet, after a holiday concert.

Is this the time to start your kids in music lessons? Host Todd VanDyke talks with Andrew Schaud about opportunities provided by the Copper Country Suzuki Association. Copper Country Today airs throughout Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula Sunday mornings at 7:00 on WOLV 97.7 FM, 8:00 WCCY 99.3 FM and 1400 AM, and 9:00 on WHKB 102.3 FM. The program is sponsored by the Portage Health Foundation.

Most musicians spend hours in their youth practicing their instruments and learning how to perform. But it's more rare for a young music student to have stewardship over another's learning. Many musicians get through school not knowing much about how to teach another person to play their instrument, much less run a small business where they make money from their musical knowledge. Cellist Zachary Sweet teaches classes for several higher education institutions on how to launch your teaching career, so he's the perfect person to chat with today. Zachary Sweet is a registered Teacher Trainer with the Suzuki Association of the Americas. He is currently an instructor of cello at Nazareth College, Binghamton University, and on the faculties of Ithaca Talent Education and Music Together of Ithaca. Nationally, he is in demand as a clinician having lead workshops, masterclasses and institutes across the united states and Canada. Zachary performs extensively throughout the Tri-State area as soloist, chamber musician and orchestral player. Zachary performs regularly with Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, the Society for New Music, and in a trio with mezzo-soprano, Ivy Waltz and pianist, Pej Reitz. Highlights this year include a recorded live recital for Civic Morning Musicals in Syracuse, NY in April 2021, and a recital with Nazareth College piano trio at the Eastman School of Music in October.

In this episode I talk to Emily Anne About her career ending diagnosis as a Cellist, as well as how she managed to get through it and what she is doing today to overcome her situation and how she is  helping  others. Emily Anne's Bio: In 2013, Emily Ann Peterson was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological hand tremor, which forever altered her two-decade livelihood as a cellist, string-arranger, and cello teacher. Refusing to lose her life's love of musical expression, in an act of neurological defiance she accepted an award of a 6-week artist residency to write new music in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest. "My grief broke through a creative glass ceiling I never knew existed." says Peterson. She returned from the mountains with an armful of songs, some of which fans can now find on her self-titled EP release from 2014. While touring the US, her interactions with new audiences prompted a question, "If they say I'm brave, then why does this still feel like fear?" Thus began her research which spanned over 2 years of interviewing everyday heroes in pursuit of the true meaning of bravery. These conversations led to Peterson's discovery of the 12 ingredients of bravery, which are reflected in the brazenly honest guidance of her bestselling self-help memoir, Bare Naked Bravery: How to Be Creatively Courageous. By practicing the concepts in her book, readers are able to fully "show up" in the world -- learning to cope with medical conditions, breakups, divorce, depression, and a multitude of other challenges.  Her long-awaited, debut full-length folk-pop album, Covered in Clover, released in July 2019. Emily Ann Peterson co-produced the album with Gary Mula, former owner of the Dutchman and Calleye studio -- an early rehearsal space for grunge legends Nirvana and Mudhoney. She called upon other members of her musical family in Seattle, WA -- including Eric Howk of Portugal. The Man (Atlantic), Andrew Vait of the band SISTERS (Tender Loving Empire), Jess Alldredge (Gospel Song/Tooth & Nail), Alina To of Passenger String Quartet, Coltan Foster and Scott Morning (Origin). Together they tracked 9 songs in a historic burlesque venue, The Columbia City Theater -- the perfect setting for a choir of horns, sweeping symphonic references, and melodies that only a former cellist could compose. Since recording Covered in Clover, Peterson relocated from the Pacific Northwest to Nashville, TN and has also found a home as a teaching artist and consultant. Fortune500 companies, executives, and tech startups seek out her expertise in creative courage, entrepreneurship, and growth strategy. Fans and audience members can find a place to belong online in The School of Bravery, a learning lab for life, career, and creativity. The school was founded by Peterson in 2018 and teaches students how to prepare, launch, and recover from their own seasons of bravery.  Emily Ann Peterson is a TEDx speaker and an alumnus of the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University. She currently holds or has held membership in the Northwest Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Rock Orchestra, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (The Grammys), and the Suzuki Association of the Americas. As a collaborative recording artist, performer, string-arranger, and songwriter she has had the honor of working with Sera Cahoone (Sub Pop), Anaïs Mitchell, Shelby Earl, Shannon Stephens (Asthmatic Kitty), The Portland Cello Project, Rosie Thomas (Sub Pop), David Bazan (Barsuk), Karin Stevens Dance, Barcelona (Universal), and many others.

Today’s episode features double bassist David Murray. David is on faculty at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana, and has been on the board of the International Society of Bassists for past two decades. The former winner of the ISB solo competition, David is known around the world as a soloist and clinician. He is also a member of the Bad Boyz of Bass, a quartet rounded out by Volkan Orhon, Anthony Stoops (a former Contrabass Conversations guest), and Paul Sharpe. We actually featured the Bad Boyz on episode 71 of the podcast back in 2008, which is well worth a listen if you haven’t checked it out before! We talk about David’s experiences having Gary Karr as his first bass teacher, where the “Karr sound” came from, focusing on bow technique, the spirit of Koussevitzky, his long relationship with the International Society of Bassists as a former competition winner and longtime board member, traveling with a bass, and several other topics. We also feature the title track from David’s solo album Vocalise, and we conclude the episode with a recording of David playing the first movement of the Franck Sonata from his Sonatas by Franck and Shostakovich album. Both the Vocalise album and the Sonatas album are available through the ISB Web Store. I’d also encourage you to check out David’s performance of the B.B. Wolf by Jon Deak. It’s a great piece and David knocks it out of the park! About David: David Murray has an international reputation as a solo bassist and teacher.
