An inspiring interview

Adam Cole is a musician and teacher of both music and feldenkrais lessons. He was interviewed for a "thrive global" series about mental health earlier this month. He said, in part of the interview:

"Musicians, whether they have a mental illness or not, walk the line between security and insecurity every day. They have to live with their current capacity to meet their own goals, process their failure and success, and ultimately present themselves and what they have learned to an audience. Developing these skills creates remarkably strong minds and resilient emotional selves".

So well put!! I often struggle to articulate exactly these things as the chief value in studying music, and I'm delighted to have such a precise and powerful paragraph now at hand. The whole article is an interesting read.
