Exploring the Parallels Between Classical Music and Effective CommunicationFriends, today, we're stepping into the world of classical music—a world filled with passion, dedication, and the pursuit of perfection. But it's also a world that can be riddled with intense pressure and toxic environments that can leave even the most talented musicians feeling inadequate. I'm thrilled to have with me a truly inspiring guest, Mary Beth Bryant, a certified Suzuki Method cello instructor who has dedicated her life to teaching and nurturing the next generation of musicians. Mary Beth is no stranger to the challenges that come with the territory. With extensive training under the internationally acclaimed cello pedagogue Irene Sharp in San Francisco, she's helped countless students achieve their dreams, with many of them earning full scholarships and admission into prestigious conservatories.But what really sets Mary Beth apart is her passion for communication—both musically and professionally. She believes that the most important quality in a musician isn't just technical skill, but the ability to communicate effectively. And that's what we're diving into today.In this episode, Mary Beth opens up about the darker side of classical music—stories of students who have faced degrading and demoralizing comments from their teachers, leading to feelings of inadequacy and, in some cases, even addiction. It's a tough reality, but Mary Beth brings hope and actionable advice to the table. We're going to talk about why it's crucial to teach children that mistakes are okay—that they don't define who they are as musicians or as people. We'll also explore the fascinating parallels between music and communication. Mary Beth shares how active listening, curiosity, and emotional regulation are not just essential skills in life, but also key to thriving in music. And, of course, we'll be wrapping up with some practical tips for parents and teachers on how to create a safe, supportive environment that fosters growth and well-being for young musicians.So, if you're ready to dive into an eye-opening conversation that's packed with wisdom, heart, and a whole lot of actionable insights, stick around!

"Ferera Swan is a recording artist, songwriter, composer, pianist, violinist, and GRAMMY voting member of The Recording Academy. Today, the Austin, Texas-based cinematic-pop artist is boldly emerging from a transformative time of reclamation. Classically trained with the Suzuki Method, Ferera began piano lessons at age 3, violin at age 6, and began writing pieces for piano by age 10. By age 16, she composed her first cinematic score titled “Serenity”, which was premiered by four high school orchestras and piano after winning a district festival composition contest her senior year. Working out of her home studio in Austin, Texas to date, Ferera has released two albums under previous artist names and has written, co-produced, co-engineered, and arranged music for other artists in a wide variety of genres ranging from pop R&B, country, rock, and folk, as well as having worked as a vocalist, pianist and/or violinist session musician. Her vocals and voice-over work has been featured in various commercial jingles including a national advertisement for Old Navy, while also performing her original music live on radio and television in the Austin, Texas region. Her instrumental piece, “Lighthouse” was featured in the film documentary ‘Swim For The Reef' that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Sharing her personal story through music as an artist and adoptee, Ferera is passionate about raising awareness around adoption in support of family preservation and evolving society's mainstream adoption narrative. Her music is a vulnerable, unfiltered, and honest expression of the ongoing healing journey relevant to many, reaching the hearts of all listeners. Currently, Ferera is actively working on upcoming projects and over the past year, has helped launch Women In Music's very first Austin Chapter as Vice Co-Chair of Membership. Bridging music and activism for adoptee rights, social change, and collective healing, Ferera has channeled her trauma into a creative and personal rebirth. “Some of our greatest gifts can be found in our deepest pain. Explore what hurts, and find yourself."' https://www.fereraswan.com

More than 400,000 children around the world have learned to play the violin through the Suzuki Method. But Suzuki wasn't trying to produce world-class musicians. Instead, he viewed the violin as a means to an end.   In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennials, discusses how Suzuki's experience with the violin mirrors our own experiences with money.   Like many childhood violin practices, the environment in which we make financial decisions often makes us miserable. We're taught to focus on numbers at the exclusion of almost everything else. But most of us aren't trying to reach the end of our lives with as much wealth as possible. Instead, we view our money as a means to an end.   And we can learn from Suzuki how to use our money to create the lives that we dream about for ourselves and our family.   Welcome to Financially Well, the finance podcast for Millennials.

https://youtu.be/gqioLkGV8B8 Natasha Miller is the Founder and Chief Experience Designer of Entire Productions, an Inc 5000 corporate event planning and entertainment management company. She is also the author of the Wall Street Journal bestselling book Relentless: Homeless Teen to Achieving the Entrepreneur Dream. We talk about the power of delegation in business, why musicians make great entrepreneurs, and how to become a relentless entrepreneur.    --- Automate Your Workflows with Natasha Miller Our guest is Natasha Miller, the founder and chief experience designer of Entire Productions and Inc. 5000, Corporate Event, Entertainment, Production, and Marketing Agency. Natasha is the voice feature best-selling author of Relentless, and she's a classical violinist and jazz vocalist. Welcome to the show, Natasha. Thank you, Steve. It's good to be here. I think you're the first musician or former musician who has been on the show, so that's definitely a first. So, very interesting origin story. You already referenced a couple of things. So, how did you get here? What turned you into a business owner and leader, Natasha? I think music got me to where I'm at today, period, end of story, but also my relentless tenacity, which someone recently said to me, which was pretty funny. But I studied violin at a young age, not as young as the Suzuki Method kids starting at four years old. I started in fourth grade, and it was able to get me a full-ride scholarship to three different universities. Even though I didn't graduate with a degree, which I didn't need, it really did propel me into a professional world. At a very young age, I was playing professionally at 15 years old. I went, looked at your book, and I found a link, and I went to your website, and I saw this letter that you wrote in a class, I guess it was, about how you made $50 with a fellow musician at the Christmas concert. That was a lot of money back then. I bet it was. So it was that your first step towards entrepreneurship. And if it was, or one of the first was, how did that lead to you starting a company? Was it kind of a stop and go or it was an organic development? My first paid performance was when I was 15 playing for the inauguration of our governor. And when you get paid at that age to do something that isn't raking leaves or mowing lawns or waiting tables, you get paid to do something that you're really good at and that you're passionate about. It sets off a little trigger, I think, in your neurons, and it was a little bit intoxicating. So I loved the idea that I could make money by doing what I love to do and that I was good at doing. And so I think my entrepreneurial spirit ignited then. But then my entrepreneurial need, when I was 16, when I was dropped off at a homeless shelter on Christmas day by my parents, which is all in the book. Then it became a necessity. I had to make money. I had to monetize anything that I knew how to do and that was fairly good at. And ultimately, years later, 21 years ago, I started my formal business, Entire Productions, which is an entertainment and event production company. So instead of my performing for these corporate and social events, either solo or with my jazz ensemble or with my string quartet, I'm sending out other musicians and other artists and making money while I'm sleeping, basically. I mean, I have to work during the day a little bit, but my team does the rest and then the artists do the rest. So it's a pretty miraculous situation. And it wasn't in fits and starts, but I would say the first 10 to 12 years, it was a lifestyle business that supported my performing career. That's great, because it's not easy to make a living as a performer. It can be an extremely tough life. Tell me a little bit about, I mean, you talked earlier about your framework being, I think we called it the entire production project management system. Tell me about this framework and how does it allow you to put up so many events with a sm...

Steph Davis has been a professional climber since 1991. But simply calling the Moab, Utah local a climber seems inadequate. From three years old, Davis was trained in the Suzuki Method on the piano. She practiced everyday, sometimes for hours a day, until she discovered a passion for climbing. The piano fell silent as climbing became her primary focus. In 2004, Davis became only the second woman to free climb El Capitan in one day. The following year she freed the formation's Salathe Wall—the first woman ever to do so. She's logged climbing achievements all over the world, and has confronted fear while free soloing walls such as the Diamond on Longs Peak.  For Davis, climbing is about when to hold on, and when to let go. We talk about her evolution as an athlete—how she went from focusing exclusively on climbing to adding base jumping and wingsuit flying to her repertoire. She describes the sense of euphoria gained from free soloing, and why it can't be replicated. This episode is brought to you by The North Face.

As well as being violinist of the Danish String Quartet, Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen is also a member of the folk trio Dreamers' Circus. In an aim to pass on the traditions of Nordic folk music to the next generation of musicians, the trio has devised a resource called Handed On – a project comprising original folk music in the form of sheet music and YouTube videos. If you're interested in incorporating more (or any) Nordic folk music in your lessons, listen on to what Rune has to say.

If you've seen a 3-year old wielding a quarter-size violin and sawing at its strings to play Mozart, chances are you witnessed a student of the Suzuki Method. Created by Japanese educator, Shinichi Suzuki, the Suzuki Method is how many young American children learn to play classical music on the violin, cello and piano, among other instruments. But the Suzuki Method isn't just about teaching children to master Bach or a vehicle for Tiger Parents to cultivate exceptional children.

An interview with the bass trombonist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, James (Jim) Markey. On this episode we discuss a few facts you may not know about Mr. Markey and how the Suzuki method has impacted his life.

On this epidsode of Skills and Bones I interview Kyra Sovronsky from Salt Lake City, Utah. She has a fabulous career on trumpet there and has also found her passion for Suzuki Brass. She discusses her career and the positive effects of Suzuki on brass students, the community, and how one can get certified to teach the Suzuki Method.

Music heals. It always has. It's one of the few things that is common to all people – regardless of nationality, culture, religion or politics. It's a binding element. A societal glue that has the power to heal. Today's guest, Alice Sauro, believes this to the marrow of her bones. Among the first kids in the US to be trained under the Suzuki Method, Alice went on to study at Julliard and then to perform for 29 years. She shifted from performance to management – first at the Fisher Theater in Detroit, then the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and then to a 7 year stint at the Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera. It was while there she had the first-hand experience both of the grounding power of music, and truly leaning into that power to bring that orchestra back from the brink of financial ruin and position it for growth and sustainability. In February 2022, Alice took the helm of the Las Vegas Philharmonic as Interim Executive Director. In the short time she's been in Las Vegas she has proven a steady hand on the wheel for an organization that, like so many in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, had become a bit wobbly. She's deeply curious and believes that it is curiosity and connection that define leadership. Important beliefs and something that she's known for a long time, since childhood really, in no small part thanks to a kitten, named Sheila. What does leadership actually mean in today's world? Good questions, right? That's what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it's why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we'll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they've learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world. #AliceSauro #LasVegasPhilharmonic #LVPhil #violinist #LVPhil #leadership #TalkUnleashed #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

In episode 13 of Your Greatest Work, Manja and Deborah talk in-depth about strategies for effectively teaching adults. ... Teaching is hard. Whether you're teaching English to a classroom of children, teaching violin to just one teenager, or teaching practical skills to adults in a virtual setting, teaching is difficult. Getting lessons to stick and keeping learners engaged takes creativity and strategy. Deborah knows this very, very well (after all, she once had Manja as her student). Through decades of teaching experience in schools and in one-on-one settings, Deborah has developed some go-to strategies to effectively work with learners of different ages. Here are just three key lessons from Deborah on working with adult learners. 1. Recognize the Fear Factor According to Deborah, the biggest difference between adults and children is the fear factor. Children may not be very focused on learning but they have no inhibitions. But adults... well, we are incredibly intimidated when it comes to learning something new. Adult learners bring a lot of motivation but, with that, a lot of fear. They're often insecure and may carry extra baggage. Why? At some point, adult learners have been told that they're not good enough — and those untrue words stick. So working with adult learners involves working on the learning mindset and working on the unlearning of past experiences. How do you do this? For Deborah, it's all about trust. You must build trust with your learners often by exposing your own vulnerabilities. 2. Build a Continuum of Progress What does that mean? Well, as Deborah explains, learners want to feel like they're always making progress. Like their efforts are worthwhile, like they're going somewhere. Like they're learning. One way to help learners feel that they're learning is to create a continuum of progress with your teaching. Once learners make a little bit of progress they think 'oh, I can do that.' Imagine a wheel or a set of steps, Learners are moving forward and getting ready for the next thing. This continuum of progress also supports —and fosters— intrinsic motivation. If you're learners can see that they're learning, they're encouraged to learn more. So how do you create this continuum? 3. Break Down Content From Deborah's experience, adult learners want to learn it all right from the start and they take on way too much. But trying to learn everything right away as fast as possible is overwhelming and will easily discourage new learners. How can you avoid that and help learners experience a continuum of progress? Break down content. Take a concept or a lesson or skill and break it into nuggets. One way to do this is to isolate skills. If a learner is struggling with one specific task, having them practice the skill in a comfortable environment can build confidence and further develop the skill. By incorporating these lessons from Deborah, you can more effectively teach adult learners. But this is only the surface of Deborah's wealth of knowledge. In this week's episode of Your Greatest Work, Deborah talks extensively about meeting learners where they're at, the unique challenges —and opportunities— of virtual tutoring, and how to support learners in reaching their goals. Tune in to hear Deborah's insights! Episode 13 is out now! ... About Our Guest Deborah Henderson is an accomplished and experienced teacher.

VJC Q&T podcast host Russell Schmidt has shared a journey in music education with violist Nancy Buck since they first met in 1995 at Bowling Green State University’s new faculty orientation. And for more than two decades, Nancy and Russ have maintained a joyous partnership on and off the concert stage. Nancy is a nationally-renown artist/teacher who presently serves as an Associate Professor of Viola at Arizona State University. She is also the Artistic Director and Co-Founder of the Arizona Violacademy. Nancy recently stopped by the MSW-Tempe studio to share questions and tangents with Russ. In this, the second of two podcasts together, they discussed why playing with others must be an “ears-over-eyes” experience, what it means to contribute texture to music, and even how varieties of chocolate might relate to a performing artist’s concept of sound.Learn more about Nancy Buck here:https://music.asu.edu/profile/nancy-buckLearn more about the Arizona Violacademy, for which she serves as Artistic Director and Co-Founder, here:https://astaaz.org/event/violacademy/Learn more about some of the people, institutions, and other topics mentioned in the podcast here:Johannes Brahms – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_BrahmsElizabeth Buck – https://music.asu.edu/profile/elizabeth-buckSteven Cornelius – https://www.umb.edu/academics/cla/faculty/steven_corneliusVincenzo Sannino – https://tarisio.com/cozio-archive/cozio-carteggio/vincenzo-sannino/Shinichi Suzuki – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinichi_Suzuki_(violinist)Georg Philipp Telemann – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Philipp_TelemannRayburn Wright – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayburn_WrightBowling Green State University College of Musical Arts – https://www.bgsu.edu/musical-arts.htmlOberlin Conservatory of Music – https://www.oberlin.edu/conservatoryPennsylvania Governor’s School for the Arts –https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Governor%27s_School_for_the_ArtsUniversity of California, Berkeley – https://www.berkeley.edu/Afro-Caribbean Music – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Caribbean_musicChamber Music – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamber_musicDance - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DanceDark Chocolate – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_chocolateKinesthetic (or Physical) Intelligence – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_intelligenceMilk Chocolate – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_chocolate#Milk_chocolateMona Lisa – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_LisaPlasma – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)Suzuki Method – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_methodViola Repertoire – https://imslp.org/wiki/List_of_Compositions_Featuring_the_ViolaWhite Chocolate – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_chocolate Thanks for listening! PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & RATE THIS EPISODE!Website: https://www.valleyjazz.org/Social Media (Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/ValleyJazzCooperative/About The Host: Pianist/composer/educator Russell Schmidt has performed with such celebrated artists as Carl Allen, Michael Brecker, Eddie Daniels, John Hollenbeck, Joe Lovano, Gerry Mulligan, Lucas Pino, Arturo Sandoval, and Clark Terry.

Is the Suzuki method for music tuition worth the extra costs: it's this musical duo's belief that the answer is a resounding no. The book too, is little more than a buzz-word, hyped-up sales pitch, product pamphlet.

Actor, art director, screenwriter, and movement specialist, Gail Sixsmith joined me to talk about her perspective on conversations - what makes them good and what makes them frustrating. As human beings we are transmitting messages all the time, whether we are aware of it or not. An actor, says Gail, has to learn to embody those messages in how they portray a character through gesture, posturing, quality of voice, intonation and so on. Unless there are layers of subtext in play, what they are saying in words has to be congruent with what their body is transmitting. She reminds us that this is something that inspirational communicators do really well.Gail coaches Performing Arts students to use their bodies effectively in becoming expressive, potent, and versatile actors. She draws on a wide range of physical practice which reflects her eclectic and extensive line of artistic enquiry: Dance Theatre, Choreographic Performance, Body Weather, Butoh, Alba Emoting, Rasaboxes, Physical Improvisation, Suzuki Method, Capoeira (Brazilian Fighting Dance), Laban, Elemental Transformation, Motion Capture, Mime, Yoga and 5 Rhythms.As you listen to Gail, perhaps you’ll hear the energy in her voice - or even imagine what her gestures might be or how she is communicating through her body as she emphasises certain words or ideas. As a former Lady Macbeth, an artistic collaborator, and now an acting coach, you can hear how important it is to Gail to choose her words very carefully, to be precise in what she is describing to us. She wants us to understand her, clearly, with no ambiguity and it’s important that what she says is as close to the truth, to reality, as possible.We meandered across many aspects of conversation - what makes for a good conversation, what inspires her, where joy sits, honesty, ego, difficult conversations, and even her worst conversational habit.We also exchanged thoughts about how dismissive we can be of each other, what we may be in danger of writing out of our conversation culture because of the presence of addictive technologies or the way, in the workplace, we are able to read body language less and less. Add to that our preference for avoiding conflict or avoiding having that difficult conversation or the fear of getting caught not knowing something, it’s easy to find ways to disconnect or even over-react in situations where we feel uneasy or exposed.I also asked Gail if she thinks it’s possible to be animated and dishonest, or at least hold something back, at the same time. Her answer brought us back to her trade in congruency between our words and our body movement, and between our energy and our impulses.To learn more about Gail, visit her website: www.gailsixsmith.com or connect with her on LinkedIn...Better Conversations, with me Sehaam Cyrene, is where my guests open up with disarming honesty about what’s important to them about conversations, what’s hard, what frustrates them about poor conversations, their own worst habits as well as their best conversation skills, and what they wish more of for all of us.Each of my guests is an expert in their field and brings a passion to what they do with their time on this earth. It’s a complete honour to learn what’s important to my guests and an indulgence for me to dive deep into what makes for a better conversation.For more episodes and to subscribe, visit papertuner.com/podcast/

Will is joined by SAGA president, Colleen Lively, to discuss the importance of private violin studies and how the Suzuki Method works in the development of a young violinist.

I'm very excited to have the talented, brilliant, funny, and (as you'll see) engaging Tessa Lark to the show to talk to us about joy in practice and music-making!  In this episode, we discuss her views about tackling work with the right mindset, the ways she sparks joy in her practice, and how getting in that joyful headspace not only makes it more gratifying for her, but also helps increase her productivity! I've been thinking a lot about Joy, self-compassion, and using positive self-talk in practicing and performing for the past few years and I ended up researching that topic in the context of my doctoral studies: the idea that high quality work can flow more easily when we are in the right mindset, the right disposition.  High-level results stem out of high-level thinking and solutions to problems come more easily when we're in a positive and open state of mind.  It is absolutely possible to have rigor without rigidity in the practice room! I had a wonderful time talking with Tessa about this topic that's really close to my heart! I feel like it's a way to approach practicing that can be very impactful and I hope this episode affects your next practice session in a positive way! We elaborate on: Her childhood in the foothills of Kentucky, starting with the Suzuki Method and enjoying attending Marc O'Connor's fiddle camps How she was introduced to fiddle music and blue grass and how it stays with her to this day Her experience with the The Cincinnati Starling Project in Cincinnati, studying with Kurt Sassmannshaus How she met and went on to study with Miriam Fried in Boston, and how Ms Fried helped her develop artistic integrity How the Naumburg Competition helped launch her career Practicing in ways that spark joy – searching for “things in your practice that bring you joy, as opposed to looking for all the things you're doing “horribly” wrong” The “talent” misunderstanding The misconception that “hard work” should feel “hard” Why we need to aim for “focused” and “efficient” work and, YES, that can feel good! Getting into the “joyful headspace” How struggle can be part of the process but its' not “necessary” How emotional depth can also be reached from a positive headspace and mindset Increased productivity How while joy is not a neutral feeling, the process to get there can be neutral The importance of knowing yourself and knowing what can get you to this joyful headspace The importance of setting goals, a positive mindset, reduce distractions, and find a physical space that feels inspiring and is conducive to efficient work How the language we use with ourselves is so important How mental discipline is important and can help us negotiate the variables that can affect performance How she uses a timer in her practice to improve her productivity   More about Tessa: Website: https://www.tessalark.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tessalark/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tessa.lark/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/HBOfosho YouTube videos featuring Tessa: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tessa+lark More articles about Tessa: click here   The Cincinnati Starling Project: http://www.starling.org/cincinnati-starling-project Kurt Sassmannshaus / Violin Masterclass: http://violinmasterclass.com/en Kenny Werner Effortless Mastery: Liberating the Master Musician: https://kennywerner.com/effortless-mastery   Biography   Violinist Tessa Lark, recipient of a 2018 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and a 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Silver Medalist in the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, and winner of the 2012 Naumburg International Violin Competition, is one of the most captivating artistic voices of our time. A budding superstar in the classical realm, she is also a highly acclaimed fiddler in the tradition of her native Kentucky. Since making her concerto debut with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at sixteen, Ms. Lark has appeared with dozens of orchestras, festivals, and recital venues including Carnegie Hall, Ravinia, San Francisco Performances, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, the Buffalo Philharmonic, and Marlboro Music. Highlights of her 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons included multiple performances of two works for violin and orchestra written for her: Love Letter by bassist-composer Michael Thurber, and Sky, a bluegrass-inspired concerto by Michael Torke premiered and recorded with the Albany (NY) Symphony Orchestra. Additional recording projects include a fantasia-themed album including Ms. Lark's own Appalachian Fantasy and works by Telemann, Ravel, Kreisler, and Schubert; Invention, a debut album of the violin-bass duo Tessa Lark & Michael Thurber that comprises music of J.S. Bach along with non-classical original compositions; and a genre-bending disc in collaboration with such artists as multi-instrumentalist/composer Jon Batiste and American fiddling legend Michael Cleveland. Recent and upcoming activities include Australia's Musica Viva festival—a four-concert engagement highlighted by a duo collaboration with bassist/composer Edgar Meyer—and debuts with the Seattle and Indianapolis symphonies. Scheduled for May 2020 is a Lincoln Center recital debut on its prestigious Great Performers Series. Ms. Lark is a graduate of New England Conservatory with an Artist Diploma from The Juilliard School. She plays a ca. 1600 G.P. Maggini violin on loan from an anonymous donor through the Stradivari Society of Chicago.     If you enjoyed the show, please leave a review on iTunes!  I truly appreciate your support!

Our guest today is 3-time GRAMMY winner, 6-time Country Music Association Musician of the Year, violinist, composer and educator Mark O'Connor! As solo recording artist he has sold over 2 million CDs. In 2000, O'Connor won the GRAMMY for “Best Classical Crossover Album” for “Appalachian Journey” with Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer. In 2009, O'Connor won a GRAMMY for “Best Instrumental Soloist performance (without orchestra)” for “Journey to the New World”. The O'Connor Band took home the 2016 GRAMMY for “Best Bluegrass Album” for their debut album “Coming Home”. As a session musician he has appeared on over 500 albums recording with numerous artists such as Dolly Parton, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Randy Travis, The Judds and many more. He is the founder of the O'Connor Method, a new method for strings which the New Yorker has called “an American grown rival to the Suzuki Method”. Christopher Dzengelewski and I talk to Mark about how he developed his remarkable musical ability from childhood, his revolutionary Mark O'Connor String Method that's all the rage amount violin students, his views on music education and much, much more!

The Suzuki Method is an internationally recognized music curriculum that is very similar to the way we acquire language. Suzuki believed that even a toddler could learn to play the violin at a high level if the steps were small enough. In this episode, Georgia shows us how we can use the Suzuki Method to create epic relationships.

I've been part of Emily's community since she interviewed me on her podcast in June. I've seen support, growth, openness, and everything you'd expect from a group formed around bare naked bravery.Learning more about her just-released book, Bare Naked Bravery: How to Be Creatively Courageous, I see why I like her methods of developing bravery. They're based on the same effective techniques I base mine on for developing leadership---active, experiential learning, starting with the basics and building. She brings her techniques from music---the Suzuki Method in particular---which makes sense. Think of the bravery to perform in front of an audience, to reveal your truth and beauty, knowing others will critique and criticize.If you want to be more brave, I recommend listening. We talk about how acting---to be brave, to act on your environmental values---apply everywhere in life. Explore her community online and read her book.Emily's personal challengeEmily interpreted environment differently than others, which give me something to learn, which is part of why I'm doing this podcast.If you're considering committing to a personal challenge but haven't narrowed it down yet, hers may give you ideas on how to.

I got together with my good friend Connie Sheu to talk about her excellent new recording, a full CD of music exclusively by women composers titled The Woman's Voice. You will hear some really amazing music that I can probably guarantee you've never heard by Dale Kavanaugh, Ida Presti, the daughter of Mauro Giuliani - Emilia Giuliani, and Annette Kruisbrink.

Connie was among the very first Suzuki Guitar students and gives us a clear and concise explanation of how this revolutionary system of learning works.
