I wrote a book! It's called What Bob Ross Teaches Us About Music Production. I take the wisdom Bob Ross shared on his show The Joy of Painting and apply those lessons to music production. In this episode of the podcast, I discuss the new book, share a few of its lessons, and discuss the larger theme of acceptance as a big takeaway from the process of writing it.

If you were to ask me about Maeve Gilchrist, the words that come to mind are musical, encouraging, masterful, literary, and a player who has the unique balance of technique and vision. A chat with Maeve is as inspiring as seeing her perform and can't but help make you want to contribute to what Maeve discusses as the, “idea of creating a pool of beauty that we can draw on when times are bleak. I think any student picking up any instrument can do that for themselves if they attack their practice in the right way”.ON TEACHINGMave loves performing and composing, but is also a passionate teacher,The biggest gift I can give as a teacher is the gift of encouraging the student to utilize their own imagination in creating a practice regime that is perfect for them. Because nobody knows our playing better than we know our playing.I asked Maeve what learning an instrument entails for anyone who has not had the opportunity to learn an instrument, “It's a combination of math and imagination and discipline”.We discussed teaching music and how important it is to let the instrument sing:If you can have a practice which is covering the fundamentals in a way that's building technique and general musicality why wouldn't you also want to incorporate creativity into that practice.HARP TALKHarp Talk was created by Maeve to bring harp players together to discuss the instrument and chat about songs and inspiration. It is an online meeting place for harpists of all sorts geared towards musical growth and cultivating community. The next episode will be this Saturday May 16th and is presented every other Saturday. www.facebook.com/pg/harptalkTHE SOMERSET FOLK HARP FESTIVALMaeve has been teaching and performing at The Somerset Folk Harp Festival since she graduated from Berklee College of Music and has been wowing audiences ever since. The Somerset Folk Harp Festival takes place every July in Parsippany, NJ. This year due to COVID-19 the festival is going to be held completely online. All 120+ workshops and numerous concerts will be available from the comfort of your homes. The festival is one of the largest of its kind in North America and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. http://www.somersetharpfest.com/You can check out past performances on the festival's youtube channel. Here's Maeve's performance at the 2017 festival. This is her original song, “City in the North” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dZqyT11Vrs&list=PL9D65C1CB3E5F87C4&index=23MAEVE'S BOOK: Rhythm and Hand Separation ExercisesMave has a wonderful book of hand exercise etudes to help with technical issues and rhythm to free up your harp playing, but I think it is a great help to any musician, especially pianists who want to work on separating hands and rhythms.https://harpcolumn.com/music/all-music/artists/maeve-gilchrist/rhythm-hand-separation-exercises-etudes-book-1/ON PRACTICINGThe biggest gift I can give as a teacher is the gift of encouraging the student to utilize their own imagination in creating a practice regime that is perfect for them. Because nobody knows our playing better than we know our playing….Music to me is not dots and lines on a page. This music is so alive and it's so full of shape and dimension. Also as a teacher it is so important for me to share with my students how I envision them creating these shapes and breathing life into the music. Because it's all about the music. It's not about me or them. It's about how we can together can bring the music to life through our vehicle of the harp.THE INSTRUMENT AND THE PLAYER'S RELATIONSHIPJust as a garden both sustains us and we sustain the garden, music and our instruments have a relationship that nurtures both the musician and the instrument as well as the listener. Even someone new to their instrument can create beauty right from the start and allow the instrument to speak. Maeve envisions how, “the tiny sounds of the earth” would sound. A leaf falling to the ground, the sound of new flower shoots as they come out of the ground in the spring, etc. And she believes that, “the instrument [provides] for the player”.By teaching everything and by playing everything with this ideal of creating something beautiful it doesn't just answer the question of why in the music, for me it answers the question of why am I doing this at all. Why is there music? It's such a deep question. And if even the most beginner musician or the most beginner harp player can start their journey with the harp with this answer to why, it will bring them places they'd never dream of otherwise.WHY MUSIC?Whether we are playing music, teaching, or dreaming we all long, especially in times of great sadness, to create:I love this idea of creating a pool of beauty that we can draw on when times are bleak. I think any student picking up any instrument can do that for themselves if they attack their practice in the right way.WORDS AND MUSIC“But really, as a songwriter, the only thing I do is make jewelry for the inside of people's minds. That's it.” -Tom WaitsI spoke to Maeve about her newest album coming out later this year. It is called, “The Harp-Weaver” and is based on the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay, “Words and music are so linked together”. Maeve discusses her experience visiting Millay's home, Steepletop, in upstate New York in the podcast.Maeve's collaborations are magical whether she's performing with dancers Nic Gareiss and Colin Dunne or The Silkroad Ensemble, or Esperanza Spalding, to name a few Or composing for a small ensemble or an orchestra.INSPIRATIONAL MUSICIANSA small portion of musicians who have inspired Maeve in how they transport us with their sound.

Remember the last tune you had stuck in your head? It's probably back there now... sorry about that... Whether it's Ravel's Bolero or Lady Gaga's Bad Romance we've all had them. But why and how can certain songs or pieces lodge themselves in our musical memory and refuse to budge. In a special edition live from the Reading Rooms of Wellcome Collection, Tom Service is joined by singer and broadcaster Jarvis Cocker to unearth the maddening musical secrets behind earworms as they pick some of their 'favourites', try to create an earworm out of the most unlikely music possible, and hear from music psychologist Kelly Jakubowski on the science behind it all. Part of Why Music? The Key to Memory, a weekend of live events, concerts and discussions exploring the implications of music's unique capacity to be remembered, produced by Radio 3 in partnership with Wellcome Collection.

Poet Arisa White goes deep in this episode of Life TK, discussing her early days as an arts coordinator—wrangling dancers and writing poems on command—the magic of collaboration (and the one that didn’t quite work at first), what it’s like to be an opera librettist, projects that are daunting throughout the entire process, and finding inspiration in the childlike question of “Why?” Music by Justin Le Tourneau and Andrew Huber Logo by Theresa Berens of Boss Dotty

As part of Radio 3's Why Music? weekend, Michael Berkeley talks to the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek. Frank Wilczek was brought up in Queens, New York, the son of a radio repairman. By the time he was a teenager it was clear that he was a mathematical prodigy. By the time he was 21, he was doing the ground-breaking research which won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004. He's currently Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and he has a great mission to explain his work to a general public. He's intrigued by questions which have as much to do with philosophy as mathematics; his latest book explores beauty, including the beauty of art and music. Why are we so drawn to harmony? Is there in fact a 'music of the spheres' all around us, which we're not able to hear but which particle physics can detect? In Private Passions, Professor Wilczek talks to Michael Berkeley about the 'deep geometry' of the world, and how this beautiful symmetry is revealed in music. He describes vividly the excitement of the scientific research which brought him the Nobel Prize: sleepless nights, skipped meals, too many cigarettes - and then the ideas which came to him while he was lying in the bathtub. A true Eureka! moment. Frank Wilczek is a keen piano player and accordionist, and plays drums in a rock band. His music choices include Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Queen, and Gilbert and Sullivan's opera - for which he has written some alternative comical lyrics celebrating the Hadron Collider.
