The conversation also explores curiosity as a creative tool, how musicians can develop their own artistic opinions instead of simply copying recordings, and why you shouldn’t let audition panels determine your entire sense of self-worth.Also included: the flutist vs. flautist debate, AI in the arts, and the surprisingly difficult skill of sitting still long enough to process what you’re actually feeling.If you’ve ever overthought an audition, questioned yourself after a performance, or tried to figure out how to keep growing without losing your love for music, this episode is for you.Follow Chelsea's adventures at:Podcast: Align Your Mind PODCASTWebsite: https://www.chelseatanner.com/Instagram: @_chelseatanner/And then, of course, go practice.Stay connected:📱 Instagram: @Robert.Bosworth.Music👉 Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.🎵 Intro/Outro music by Robert Bosworth, Trained Musician™️🎙️ Produced by: phMediaStudio, LLC
