Is your musician getting enough sleep between practice sessions?

According to researchers at the University of Montreal, the regions of the brain below the cortex play an important role as we train our bodies' movements and, critically, they interact more effectively after a night of sleep. While researchers knew that sleep helped us the learn sequences of movements (motor learning), it was not known why.

A Day in the Life of a Practice Room

Bach for Buddha

This is from William Harvey's thoughts about visiting Bagan, Myanmar with his violin.  William is a Juilliard graduate and Founder of Cultures in Harmony.

Yesterday, the festival musicians and some of the supporters climbed all over large pagodas with dozens of other tourists in Bagan, Myanmar. While the experience was incredible, the large crowds of camera-toting fellow foreigners made it difficult to apprehend the sense of spirituality and mystery which one would expect from this land dotted with hundreds of pagodas, some of which date back a thousand years. So today, Kirsty Griffiths (the festival's mezzo soprano and choral conductor) agreed to join me in a more interesting quest. This time, we would go alone to the smaller pagodas, and I would carry my violin.

Miri Ben-Ari - Musical Ambasador from unexpected places a (playlist)

As a teenager I remember pulling out some of my favorite cover songs and wailing on them in the practice room.  But the guys in the local combo at school wouldn't have any of it.  Why would they want some chick with a violin under her chin up staging them.   But Miri doesn't let any thing hold her back.  She plays any kind of music she wants to and the guys in the band can say nothing about it.

Miri Ben-Ari, a Grammy Award-Winning violinist, composer & producer, Goodwill Ambassador of Music for the United Nations Association of Brazil originally from Israel, has created her own unique sound – a revolutionary fusion of classical soul and dance music. She is recognized as a musical pioneer.
