LIVE in THE SPOTLIGHT

The focus of this blog is to explore the practices, attitudes and motivations of successful artists and musicians in the autumn of life.

How to practice: exploring strategies and tactics in an aging body through book reviews, interviews, personal anecdotes, with the goal of staying happy, healthy and focused.
Attitude: what it is a good attitude, how does helps us to learn and persevere, which daily tactics help us to acquire or keep a good one, what to do if yours needs a tune up?
Metacognition: what it is, what it can teach us about learning, resources for study, conferences, and in practice.
Intrinsic motivation: what it is, how it helps us to learn and persevere as we age, how to help those we mentor with theirs.

Mature Jazz Piano Students: Fearless in Toronto

Ten adults and one teen of different skill levels recently participated in their first "jam" in Toronto. We went to a real jazz club, locked the doors and drew the curtains. We hired a professional bassist and drummer.

They were excited, nervous, and pumped. They'll all be back in the fall for round 2. They learned a lot, starting with "real Jazz" is intense and loud. And, really really fun.

Good examples for us all on stepping out of our comfort zones.

Best,

David
