There are always setbacks in everyone's musical journey. For me, overcoming setbacks meant changing my mindset and approach. What helped me most was learning to practice and perform with relaxation, always focusing on my MUSICAL goals rather than technical ones. When I did that, I started searching for ways to adjust my technique to produce the sounds I wanted. The result was that practicing became significantly more gratifying despite some tough and persistent challenges. If you ever run into a setback, remind yourself it's just part of the journey. Then take a deep breath and consider varying your approach. Remember to ALWAYS focus on being musically expressive. #SpanishGuitarMastery #FlamencoGuitar #ClassicalGuitar #SpanishGuitar #PracticeStrategies #ExpertPerformance #GuitarScience #HowToPractice #LearnGuitarFaster #GuitarPractice #MusicPractice

𝐀 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐏𝐨𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 Word prompt: Musical (see my answer in the comments below!) Just start. Maybe it's a glass of water when you first wake up. A two-second breather. Or cuddling with your parrot. For me, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 meant sitting down and writing whatever came to mind from this one-word prompt: musical. What happens when you sit down to 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞? When your throat lets your heart melt into prose? Or in the words of Bukowski: When you DON'T TRY? 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: When creativity spills out, it’s not just words on paper (or screen). It leaves its mark on every single corner of your world, including your work. --- What does musical mean to you? Take 5 minutes right now to put your thoughts to paper. See what it means to me in the comments below.

Week 10: It got very dark. One of my all-time favorite musicals–Little Shop of Horrors–takes place in the aftermath of a solar eclipse. It’s all about the lengths people will go to to get what they want (it’s Faust, with plants. And a killer score.). I fell in love with that musical as a middle schooler and still I get the feels when I hear the opening music to Suddenly Seymour or Somewhere That’s Green. Memories are fun, like that. There are memories that we know ahead of time will likely be core memories: crossing the stage at Commencement, a game or tournament we’ve been training for, a key relationship milestone. But then there are the ones that catch us off guard: a moment with friends when everything clicks. A song that hits us at just the right moment and just the right mood. A food that reminds us of home. There’s a very specific church basement smell that will always remind me of a camp I went to as a kid. While we can’t always predict what will make for a key memory, my hope is that we can help you create some great ones during your time here at DePauw. Let me encourage you to seek those out - go to events and activities that could create those positive memories. Take a moment when you’re with friends to soak in where you are and what you’re doing. Ask someone else what’s a core memory for them, and use that as a chance to reflect on your own. My hope for you this week is that you make a core memory. (Every week when classes are in session I send a note of encouragement to DePauw students. Here's today's.)

As I share my musical creations, an intriguing question arises: Am I sharing how the creation makes me feel, or am I offering a musical gift, crafted to move the listeners in their own unique ways? What if my audience could personalize these creations, adapting them to resonate more deeply with their individual experiences and emotions? As both an artist and the CEO of Starchild Music, I frequently contemplate the extent to which I should allow fans to tailor artists' creations to better suit their needs. When I delve into the process of writing and producing, each song mirrors my own emotions and memories, shaped with a deliberately chosen sonic palette that holds profound personal significance. Consider this: what if my yet unreleased Rock Opera, "Moonlight Carnival," was released as a starchild, allowing listeners to play with and even replace the song arrangements and production I labored over for hundreds of hours? Would it still be my musical, or would it transform into something entirely different—perhaps something greater, akin to setting my creation free to take on a life all its own? As artists, should we be open to our creations being enjoyed in ways we had never foreseen nor intended? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this.

When I get asked to be a "keynote" speaker … I feel honored. But I also feel responsible. You see, the term "keynote" comes from a musical tradition. Before a musician begins a performance, they play one note to set the tone. That's what I aim to do. My goal is to set the tone for not only "my performance"—but for 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 as well.  That means giving you the tools, knowledge, and motivation to go back to work … and enhance our world. https://shrm.co/d2rz0y #SHRM #HumanResources #KeynoteSpeaker
