    We are thinking about to extreme sides of all the advice we hear to either take care of yourself, and be content with what you have, or the opposite: to grow, hustle, optimize, crush it, and do more.

  • Productivity Hacks, Ew! [PSP 38]

    11/04/2018 Duração: 51min

    If you’ve ever been on the internet, or on any social media, you’ve probably seen this fascination we all seem to have for hacking our productivity, you can hack your morning routine, hack your way to inbox zero, an audition hacker, or an all encompassing a life-hacker. But the question that Christian brought us today is what are we doing with all this supposedly new-found time? -Are we just filling it with more productivity? -Are we filling it with beautiful things? -Or are we just answering more emails The post Productivity Hacks, Ew!

  • Is it Better to Just Practice, or Do I Need Other Skills? [PSP37]

    02/03/2018 Duração: 01h38s

    On our show today, we’re thinking through another one of the dilemma’s that modern musician’s face. Should I go All In, and try to become the top 1% or 2% of musicians in my field. Or should I diversify my skills and be more marketable and have multiple income streams. - Is it all or nothing? - Are you planning for failure by having a backup plan? - Does having multiple passions make you a Jack of all trades and master of none? This is where we’re heading, and as usual you never know where things will go. One last thing, we would like to thank Ficks Music Publishing for providing the hosting for this show.

  • Play it Safe? or Play it Forward [PSP 36]

    30/01/2018 Duração: 45min

    As freelancers, one of the biggest responsibilities is when we have the opportunity to recommend a colleague to join us on a gig. We usually have to choose between someone who is a great player and not the nicest person, or a super nice person, and a just OK player. (Side note - is it that hard to be a nice person?) What's at stake when we choose one over the other? Is it just our reputation that suffers, or the quality of the ensemble too? We take a look at some of the times we've faced this question, what we did, and what we wish we could have done differently.

  • Stop Trying to be a Perfectionist [PSP35]

    23/12/2017 Duração: 51min

    Today, we’re looking at something that all of us have struggled with, or still struggle with, and that is being a perfectionist. What about it could be helpful, and how much of it is harmful? It’s an interesting conversation for sure. Jessica Weirsma has a major epiphany and drops a "Truth Brahmbs" on us, Anna Luce lays the smack down, Christian  Marshall asks some hard questions, and I’m Michael O’Gieblyn- just trying to piece it all together,  and we’ve got the return of Gig of the Week!

  • Self-Criticism vs. Self-Compassion. Which is Better? [PSP34]

    11/11/2017 Duração: 45min

    On today’s show, we’re talking about seeing the world with a little more compassion-towards others, and towards ourselves. Because most of us musicians are our own worst critic. How do we push ourselves to practice and improve, without making life miserable because we’re beating ourselves up. Looking outwards, how can we be supportive colleagues, encouraging friends, and positive influences at rehearsals and gigs to those around us? Empathy and Self Compassion. Those aren’t topics that we’re that good at, or know a lot about. So we brought in an expert to walk through it with us. Our guest has a Ph.D in clinical counseling and is a Lecturer at Lynn University in the school of Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She’s Dr. Angie O’Gieblyn, and yes she’s my wife.

  • Can I Change My Negative Thoughts? [PSP 33]

    19/10/2017

    As musicians, we tend to seek out advice on things we should DO, a routine we should TRY, or habits we should ADD to our practice time. That’s great, but maybe the key to really growing as a musician, and more importantly as a person is to look inward and find the things we should STOP doing. On this episode, we get all up in own brain crevices and think about what negative thoughts we struggle with. We got some help from a fantastic article written by Amy Morin, which was the foundation for her book, called 13 things mentally strong people don’t do.

  • Change – Whether you want it, or not [PSP 32]

    24/09/2017 Duração: 42min

    It’s so good to be back here with you all again. Whoa-what a crazy week it was here. If you've listened to the show for a while, you might have heard that I moved to south Florida...the Boca Raton area to be precise. And this little thing called Hurricane Irma gave us a nice warm welcome. So, we evacuated and our power was out for a week, so that knocked me out of my normal publishing schedule. But thank you for staying with us. Dealing with the hurricane was a prime example of handling changes whether you want them or not, and we chose this topic weeks ago even before we knew about the hurricane. But as musicians, we have to adapt, grow, and persevere thorugh life's ups and downs. And as a podcast, that's really what we strive to embody here and why we're here. Life in the arts is full of ups and downs. We must adapt and continue to change as the world changes. Getting bitter, jealous, or anxious about what's happening, (or not happening) isn't going to help you rise above it all. So we think talking about t

  • And We’re Back! – Season 3 Preview [PSP]

    02/09/2017

    Welcome back to the Per Service Podcast! It’s so good to be back here with you all again.  I know some of you were worried that we weren’t coming back after a long break this summer….but we are definitely back in gear and have some great episodes coming up this season. If you’re new to the podcast, this is a show for classical musicians who are discovering what it means to have a happy and successful life in the performing arts. Every two weeks we host these conversations to talk about the challenges we face and some inspiration and encouragement we have found to overcome them. With that said, this isn’t a typical episode today.  We took some time off this summer, and a lot has happened in that time. So rather taking up a lot of time in an episode to fill everybody in, we’re doing it here in this season preview of sorts. Thank you to Ficks Music Publishing for covering the cost of our hosting.

  • Choose to be Happy Even When the Gig Sucks [PSP30]

    08/07/2017 Duração: 53min

    Welcome back to the Per Service Podcast. On the show today, we’re thinking about Happiness. How we can find it regardless of how the gig is going, how we can share it with those around us, instead of being a complainer. And where we can focus our energy to make the biggest change. This is a podcast for classical musicians who want to live a creative, successful and happy life at each and every service. We know that it’s not always easy to do this. There’s a lot of uncertainty, a lot of concerns about money, a lot of criticism and comparison out there. So we host these conversations to take a break from all of that, and encourage and inspire each other. And we’d like to thank you for listening and subscribing to the show. *Show Notes Page: www.perservice.co/30 (Get 10% off – promo code: PERSERVICE ) *Thank you to our Sponsor: www.ficksmusic.com The post Choose to be Happy Even When the Gig Sucks [PSP30] appeared first on Orchestra Excerpts.

  • Summertime: Make Your Plans for Focus, Fun, and Romance [PSP29]

    26/05/2017 Duração: 51min

    Well it is the end of the season. Schools are wrapping up, and orchestra seasons are winding down. For many musicians, this time either means some serious relaxing and recovering from all that craziness, OR gearing up for a summer festival, and maybe some of both. For others, it may mean staying home and working a job for a while. This time can be difficult to manage though without the external pressures of lessons, or concerts. If you drift for too long, the summer can pass you by, without feeling like you got anything accomplished So how do we stay focused, stay motivated, but still have some fun, and maybe work that romantic interest you’ve had your eye on. * Show Notes Page: www.perservice.co/29 * Become a Patron of the Show: https://www.patreon.com/perservice * Thank you to Ficks Music Publishing: www.ficksmusic.com (Get 10% off - promo code: PERSERVICE ) The post Summertime: Make Your Plans for Focus, Fun, and Romance [PSP29] appeared first on Orchestra Excerpts.

  • Self-Care or Die [PSP 28]

    12/05/2017 Duração: 40min

    You need to do more. You’ve got music to learn, lessons to teach, emails that are piling up, that audition you’re supposed to be practicing for, that article you were going to write, your website that needs to be updated, and you haven’t seen your family in a while either… Does this sound familiar? As musicians today, there are more challenges and demands for your time then ever before. Partially because there are more opportunities then ever before. Chances are your podcast queue is filled with interviews of interesting people who are starting new-funky ensembles, winning prestigious positions, or becoming famous on social media. But just because you can do all of this stuff also, does that mean that you should? Today on the show, we’re discussing why we need some self-care, and what it looks like for each of us. Turns out, like many things, it’s not the same for everyone, and we share a simple test to find out how to care for yourself based on what you value. The post Self-Care or Die [PSP 28] appeared

  • Find the Courage to Change Your Life [PSP27]

    28/04/2017 Duração: 47min

    www.perservice.co/27 It takes a tremendous amount of courage to take a big audition, ask a teacher for a trial lesson, or put anything out in the world with your name on it. And the thing is, great things are waiting for you on the other side of your fear, anxiety, and insecurities. So how do we get this courage to stand up and ask for what we want, or dare to change the world? Sometimes we're not even aware that the smallest actions, like just picking up your instrument every day takes a lot of courage too. And in fact, they're not really that much different. So, I invite you to join us for our discussion, because you were made to do something great, to make something beautiful, and to have the courage to make a difference.

  • Stop Selling Yourself Short [PSP26]

    14/04/2017 Duração: 54min

    Hey there….you know, I don’t know how to say this nicely, But you’re just not good enough to charge that much. And really, there are already enough really good musicians in this town…so you can just stop. Oh, and also, I know you have 2 degrees and an instrument worth more than my car, but can you play this one for free? So, these are thoughts that you would probably NEVER say to a friend or colleague. And yet, why is it ok that we say these same thoughts to ourselves over and over? It’s not ok. It’s time to start believing what you’re worth, charging what you’re worth. And stop selling yourself short. The post Stop Selling Yourself Short [PSP26] appeared first on Orchestra Excerpts.

  • What Even is “Flow” and How Do I Get It? [PSP25]

    31/03/2017 Duração: 46min

    http://www.perservice.co/25 What's the deal with people talking about "Flow?" Why is it such a big deal? Is it something I can really control, or am I at the mercy of the Muse? Turns out there are four different types of people who access their Flow state completely differently. Finding out which type of person you are is the first step in getting more moments of Flow. And luckily there is a super simple quiz to figuring out who you are. The Deep Thinker, The Hard Charger, The Flow Goer, or the Crowd Pleaser. Who even are you?? “The BEST moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times…the best moments usually occur when a persons body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile” -Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi The post What Even is “Flow” and How Do I Get It?
