First off, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you to those who first believed in this mission and supported it.

To my family, Bryant Jordan, Daniel Baldwin, Dana Lovell, Kevin West, Payton Womack. All dear friends who volunteered to help me realize this vision

To the guests who have given of their time to share their stories and expertise...

To all of you. The tens of thousands of you in over 60 countries who have tuned in.

That believe that making music should be a healthy endeavor

That believe that going through an injury as a musician is not the end of a musical journey

That it is possible to overcome injury and thrive.

Thank you.

Keep on keepin' on!

It is our 100th EPISODE!!!

And I could not be more thrilled about how this interview turned out!

First of all, I apologize to Ms. Roskell for mispronouncing her last name on the recording (it is pronounced RAWSKell)!! I meant no disrespect and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation!

Because she REALLY knows her stuff!

She literally wrote the book on it!

She is not only a professor at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London,

Or the President-Elect of the European Piano Teachers Association

But wrote the book The Complete Pianist and the Essential Piano Techniques Book series as well!

We talked about what it means to truly warm up at the piano

About how a performance injury led her to re-examine every aspect of how she played the piano

And how even with learning the physiology of playing the piano, the ultimate purpose is to be able to access our musical artistry at a higher level.

Keep on keepin' on, and enjoy this episode!

Imagine having a normal day with your family, and you get a call:

"you have a brain tumor"

As a musician, and more importantly, as a human, that would rock your world.

Dr Amy Lee Gabbitas (my former boss) shares with me how she was able to go through major brain surgery...

How she learned to walk again...

How she found other passions through teaching...

And how she was able to eventually return to the stage and play music that had helped her through her recovery.

Many of you have reached out to me asking to have some on the show who may not have gone through a performance injury, but instead have had a health challenge that affected your ability to play

Amy and I sincerely hope that her story brings you some hope and healing through your recovery journey!

Keep on keepin' on!

One of the cool benefits I have with the podcast is sharing what I am learning in my masters program in real time!

One of the key theories and concepts in confidence building for performers is self efficacy.

Self Efficacy (coined by Dr Albert Bandura) is one's belief in their ability to complete a task.

No one who has gone through an injury needs to be reminded of how their confidence took a huge hit after their injury.

In this episode I talk about key ways that have helped me rebuild my self confidence, as well as ways that can help you regain your confidence as you navigate recovery!

Keep on keepin' on!
