How cultivating happiness improves performance and inspires change.
For musicians, the pursuit of excellence often takes centre stage, but equally important is the ability to find happiness in the musical journey. In this essay, we will explore strategies to cultivate happiness among musicians, enabling them to derive greater enjoyment from their performances. By understanding the link between happiness and musical expression, practicing mindfulness, nurturing well-being, and fostering a positive mindset, musicians can create a harmonious balance between technical mastery and emotional fulfilment.
This Bitesized pod with Jean-Paul Wright delves in to some of the areas which prevent us from being happy and appreciating our performance.
