Welcome to How to Practice Happier, a podcast to help you think differently about practice and your artistic process: because practice isn’t about making music, it’s about YOU making music. The context of your life and your thoughts and experiences matters, and when we go on stage we bring all of that along with us.  This week on the podcast, I'm talking about an odd week in the life of an orchestra musician. Rehearsal cancellations, haunted theaters, working without a conductor, and the intricacies of musical cognition.
