Don't Worry, Be POSITIVE! Injury Recovery Tips from Trumpeter and Content Creator Josh Rzepka

Sometimes the best tool we have against adversity is our own attitude. Viktor Frankl, who survived the Holocaust, once said "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." In today's episode I talk with Josh Rzepka, trumpeter, educator, and content creator, about the experiences he has had with injury throughout his career. And yeah, there have been a few of them. He shares what these experiences taught him about leaning on his community, his teachers, and fellow musicians who have experienced injury.About how important it is for educators to make sure their students are getting credible information about technique online (I'm looking at YOU, trumpeters!)And how at the end of the day, one of the greatest tools we have for teaching is positive reinforcement coupled with constructive feedback. Keep on keepin' on!
