October 15th, 2023

In this episode, we had the honor of speaking with Denise Devenish, a humanistic psychotherapist who specializes in working with musicians. We talked about the vital importance of mental health for musicians, the often detrimental impacts of classical music education, and some strategies for maintaining mental health as a musician. This episode was incredible, and we wish we could require all musicians to listen to it!
