Healthy Music Making Book Project Free Preview Event

Dear Fellow Musician,

I'm writing a book with the working title – Healthy Music Making – and I’d love to share more about it with you!

This free online event will be part talk (about the Healthy Music Making approach), part inquiry (into the nature of the creative process and creative projects) and part invitation (to ride along on my book writing adventure). My hope is that you leave the workshop with lots of ideas and inspiration to support your own creative and healing work.

This free online preview event is open to any musician and music teacher who is interested in the convergence of music, healing, learning and creativity.

Here’s the agenda for our time together:

Part 1: A Talk about the Book

To start, I'll give you a basic overview of the book, explain why I’m writing it and share the scope and structure of the overall project. As part of my talk, I will also guide participants through a self-assessment that will look at 7 areas of your health in music making – physical, mental, emotional, musical, creative, social and spiritual. This process will illuminate ways you might be helping or hurting yourself and lead into a discussion about healing pathways, including Integrative Alexander Technique work. 

Part 2: An Inquiry into Creativity & Creative Projects

Next, we'll wonder together about the creative process and creative projects. I’ll share some ways I’m optimizing my own life for creativity and how I’m designing a creative project that is “too big to fail.” As part of this, I’ll invite you to do some dreaming and visioning about the personal creative projects you might wish to pursue in 2026.

Part 3: An Invitation to Ride Along

Finally, I’ll share some of the ways I’m inviting people to “ride-along” on my book writing journey. This will include a sneak-peak of a series of intro classes I’m offering in January & February that will serve as the “overture” to a 10-month professional certification program launching this March designed for musicians and music teachers who want in-depth training in the Healthy Music Making approach. (I'll also share, from a meta level, more about the concept of a "ride-along" and how you too can use it to support and resource your "real" creative work.)

I’ve scheduled 90 minutes for this event so there’s plenty of time for questions, group discussion and anything else juicy that might arise.

I hope to see you there!
