Now, on to today's episode.

This episode is a little bit of a different one from

what I normally would talk about on this show, going away from some of the jazz improv tips,

tricks, practice strategies, and diving into a little bit more of life lessons that I've learned

as a result of studying jazz. Because I don't know about you. Obviously, learning music, becoming great

jazz supervisor, there's a lot of fulfillment within just that action. Music is its own reward.

However, I like to think that everything I do has benefits that spread across other aspects of my life.

And certainly when I look back on my jazz education and how it's affected me now,

I see a ton of benefits that have really made a huge impact and help me grow in areas of my life

I never thought I would develop so quickly or so strongly. So in today's episode, I'm going to go

over 10 life lessons that I've learned from studying jazz, break down what they are, and I'm sure that

you'll find some inspiration and help in understanding these as well. All right? Let's do it.
