Seasons change, the economy changes, society changes, and we change.
The day-to-day headlines reflect radical realignments and restructuring going on at all levels of society. So how do we make sense of what's going on and how it effects our day-to-day life, art, and career?
From a practical perspective, the important question is not "How are things changing?" but rather "Am I changing in harmony and in pace with the changes around (and within) me, or am I resisting change and insisting on consistency?"
As a musician, you are built to feel your way into and embrace changes of many kinds: chord changes, tempo changes, key changes, meter changes, changes of groove, and changes of mood.
Still, many artists feel lost when it comes to handling big changes in their personal lives, careers, global industry, or local scene.
Tune into this SOS episode as JP explores four practical ways to apply your musical knowledge and craft to your career and your life.
