June 04, 2017 04:00 - 52 minutes - 37.5 MB

On today's Fireside Chat we dive into a topic that I wrote about earlier in the week that I dubbed Old School Abuse- when a teacher's style is abusive, which includes yelling and a demeaning tone.

If more students can recognize in the moment that they do not have to endure this kind of treatment, it can stop. And going through it can teach you something about how you h...

Certainly in your life you have developed opinions about various topics and experiences you have had through your career.

What is more than likely is that you have something to say other than through musical phrases on your instrument. And that's a whole other side of the c...

April 23, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MB

The funny thing about JUST STARTING is nothing is in place for you... YET. It's up to you to do it all. You can't just show up and start working like you would at any job.

April 19, 2017 04:00 - 42 minutes - 37.9 MB

On this episode I had Jeremy Preston, a friend and fabulous violinist who I know from the North Carolina Symphony. Jeremy's story is interesting, because at the point he realized he wanted something else in his life, he decided to leave his tenured job and move where he wanted to live without a new job in place.

March 08, 2017 18:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MB

I've heard of musicians switching their careers to something else pretty often but it's not too common to hear about someone who becomes a comedian.

On this episode Mary tells lots of funny stories about her Klezmer band gigs and what it was like to be on the Conan O'Brien show. Mary mistakenly thought that I spend a lot of time editing- which I don't. These are "real, ra...

February 24, 2017 16:06 - 1 hour - 55.5 MB

Do you ever wonder how musicians feel when they leave their assumed path to an orchestra job? Sometimes you might think that this could be a bittersweet decision.
