Flute 360 | Episode 353: “The Baby Metaphor That Will Change How You Practice Forever” If you’ve ever played all the “right” notes yet still felt disconnected from your musical expression, this episode will change how you practice forever. In E353, I share a simple baby metaphor that has transformed the way my clients build emotional connection and artistic intention from the very first practice session. Most musicians try to “add expression later,” but that approach actually keeps the music from feeling alive. This episode gives you a new way to weave expression, story, and...

Flute 360 | Episode 337: “The Back-to-School Crash Is Real—Here’s How to Bounce Back”

Have you felt that crash lately—the jolt of going from summer freedom to early rehearsals, packed teaching schedules, and late-night studying? You’re not alone. The back-to-school crash is real, and in today’s episode I’ll share practical ways to bounce back with more energy, balance, and joy.

Whether you’re a high school flutist, a busy college music major, or a teacher juggling lessons and family life, this episode will give you realistic tools to take care of yourself so you can thrive musically and personally.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why sleep rhythms are your secret weapon for performance and focus.
  • Simple food swaps that support your body (and what to avoid when you’re running on fumes).
  • Breath work and bedtime rituals that actually calm your nervous system.
  • The truth about coffee, screen time, and energy crashes.
  • How movement—even a 20-minute walk—can reset your creativity and reduce stress.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about giving your body and mind the support they need so your artistry can flow from a place of wholeness.

Remember: eat well, sleep well, breathe well, and move well. When you nurture your whole self, you’ll show up to the practice room, the stage, and the classroom with greater focus and confidence.
