Interview with Michael Jamanis & Jennifer Roig-Francolí
(This one goes deep!)

“I should be practicing”
“I should have practiced more”
“Why didn't I practice?!”

Have any of these thoughts crossed your mind?

I had the honor of joining Michael Jamani on his podcast, Music Un-Tuxed, for a heartfelt conversation about some of the biggest challenges musicians face, including performance anxiety, guilt about practicing, and recovering from failure.

Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation:

🌟 You are the primary instrument–getting to a place of ease BEFORE you practice will make your practice more valuable.

🧠 We have all experienced Performance Anxiety: Michael and I get REAL and talk about how we got so in our heads that we could not play in our respective orchestras!

🎻 PRACTICE LESS! Stop grinding, push, and forcing practice–instead use mindful techniques such as Primal Alexander to get into your “natural flow” mindstate.

The episode also includes links to short clips that highlight my passion for these topics, so be sure to check those out.

If you've ever struggled with performance anxiety or guilt around practicing, I think you'll find this conversation incredibly encouraging.

I'd really love to get your feedback on this podcast interview… send me a message with your thoughts after you listen – thanks!
