| Hello Friend,
There are very few times in life we get the opportunity to be interviewed by one of our idols. I certainly never thought this would be the case for me.
I've been honoured by having the opportunity to share my perspective and talk about music mindset, returning to play violin after a long pause, teaching and coaching through my Violin Bootcamp program as a guest at the Creative Strings Podcast, hosted by Christian Howes, a violinist, teacher and mentor whom I've followed and admired for many years.
I was humbled and honoured by the invitation.
This has been yet another wonderful opportunity to grow and learn from Chris through this process in a completely new way.
I want to take the time to thank him again for the invitation. He is the type of mentor that always sees the possibilities within you. It is great that people like him open up space for musicians like myself to contribute and share small perspective of what we live in our own studios.
You can listen to this episode on the link below and get to visit Chris' website at the same time! I highly recommend subscribing to his podcast. |
