The Whole Musician Workshop: Testimonials

Joshua Pearl's teaching is all of the stuff that I've waited to sink my teeth into all of these years...it provides me with a path to discover what I didn't know I didn't know.
"Joshua establishes rapport from the first call. He is an active listener - able to translate what is said, and sometimes what is unsaid, into usable guidance and next steps. I found my coaching intensive to be crucial towards defining my career goals, focusing my songwriting efforts, and creating balance between my music career and personal life. His dedication to working holistically distinguishes him from other coaches and music professionals."
"Joshua has a keen mind filled with profound insights. I have learned a great deal from him and can recommend his programs highly.”
(Joshua Pearl is) a creative and brilliant teacher, a visionary, a wise guide, a caring nurturer, and a playful and wonderful friend.
Miriam Margles, Composer, Choreographer, Rabbi - Musical Breakthrough Program (2008)
Thank you Joshua, you gave me my music back...
Barbara Bayer, Song Interpreter and Singer - Artist Development and Recording (Sep, 2008)
I'm so grateful I found about you and your podcast as I had almost
given up writing songs and making music. Thanks to you (and my strong
desire for music of course) I changed my mind...best wishes from Germany.
Nils Hoffmann, Performing Songwriter - Soul of Songwriting Podcast (Sep, 2008)
"Studying and recording at the Whole Musician Workshop, my band was exposed to the essentials of how to develop our music. Beyond the basics, Joshua taught us about the vibrations of music in such a cool way that we found a more profound connection to the music and we were able to more deeply explore our own unique sound. In the studio, we experienced a lot more than just recording! Every sound we created was exactly "as it should be"--they all had a very warm, profound and real quality. I deeply appreciate having the opportunity to work with Joshua and The Whole Musician Workshop."
"Working with The Whole Musician Workshop helped me make the kind of music that I've always wanted to make, enriching my creative process from composition all the way through to a finished recording."
"Since attending a Whole Musician Retreat, I perceive the world in a deeper and more vivid way. It feels like a veil was removed that clouded my perception of reality. I hear, perceive and experience the world more clearly. It’s like a whole new, more interesting world has been awakened within me. I don't call Joshua a music teacher. I consider him a spiritual teacher who uses music as a tool to bring the student to an experience of the "hear" and now."
Matt Beres, Developing Artist - Whole Musician Weekend Retreat (2007)
"Before the musical problems could be solved, Joshua helped me clarify the processes that underlie the making of the music…he found my blind spots and turned my obstacles into opportunities, my problems into my process so that once the underlying structure and meaning of my work was clear, the manifestation of the musical ideas became a natural and organic process."
