I’m co-presenting a session called Holistic Health and Sustainable Self-Care Strategies with flutist Andrea Brachfeld at this year’s Chamber Music America conference in New York City - description below:

While traditional music training covers artistry and technique, an important aspect in maintaining a successful career as a musician is often overlooked. Self-care involves knowing what you need as an individual and applying it to your daily life. This session will present useful techniques and self-care tools that can be used to improve and enhance one’s professional and personal capabilities, and explain how to make small changes toward healthy habits with lasting effects. Participants will learn how to adjust their mindset to support their goals, how to make their schedules work for them, and how to direct their energy toward a more rewarding life. This workshop will allow attendees to discuss these topics openly and leave feeling empowered to address their personal needs effectively.
