For an artist of any sort, their tools are a vastly important matter in their expression. The nature and character of the relationship between an artist and their tools, or in musicians' cases - their instruments, is a subject all too easy to skim the surface of, leaving many opportunities undiscovered. https://theconsciousmusicschool.com Interested in 1-on-1 coaching from Simon?

My first ever podcast appearance, thanks to Chris @ Forbidden Knowledge News. I was nervous as hell, a bit rambling, and my posh microphone died just before the interview, forcing me to improvise with old tat. But, if you can appreciate the irony of listening to me talk about these subjects through a thoroughly unprofessional audio quality, replete with crackle and bumble, here it is. Enjoy. https://theconsciousmusicschool.com Interested in 1-on-1 coaching from Simon?

Are you as aware of your body as you think you are? Because of this common condition known as Body Armouring, we can spend years unaware of how disconnected we are to parts of our body vital to our mastery of music. The Conscious Music School invites you to cut those years of disconnection short, with study and full awareness of the phenomenon and how it might be affecting you. https://theconsciousmusicschool.com Interested in 1-on-1 coaching from Simon?

There are numerous factors to setting up a good practice space for yourself, many of which operate so subtly or subconsciously that we may spend years practicing in problematic or disturbing conditions before we become fully aware of the situation.

How long is it since you last looked after the joints and muscles you use to play your instrument? Musicians are often so focused on improving their musical skill set that SELF-improvement comes in a poor second, if at all. The Conscious Music School invites you to address and change that story, for the sake of yourself AND your musicianship. https://theconsciousmusicschool.com Interested in 1-on-1 coaching from Simon?

One does not have to perform for others to gain from singing. Besides its benefits to physical and psychological health, singing is also the surest and most instinctual way to reveal and connect to the inner workings of our musical minds and memories. A musician without a voice is like a student without a jotter pad. The Conscious Music School invites you to use your singing voice for your OWN benefit, whatever it's quality. https://theconsciousmusicschool.com Interested in 1-on-1 coaching from Simon?
