Had some folks say they liked the last video on vagus nerve activation, so here’s another tool I use to go from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest”.

This is a quick and simple grounding check-in for musicians (or anyone, really) to feel more present in your body and less stuck in your head.

Do you have a go-to grounding practice?
Or want me to share more of these?

✌🏻

Thanks to @miraphone_germany for making tubas that are really fun to play. The Petrushka 1281 was one of the first F tubas I ever played and I can’t see myself playing any other horn.

Aside from the musical whiplash of performing the John Williams concerto last night and Fnugg Blue this morning, I’m looking forward to some beatbox didgeridoo jazz shenanigans with @joeparisi531 and the UMKC Wind Ensemble tomorrow night ✨

‼️ My second solo album is now LIVE on all streaming platforms! ‼️

I know what you're thinking:   "I’m excited for the holidays, but I wish I had some sonorous, low frequency melodies to accompany the tryptophan-laden turkey (or veg alternative 🥦) I'm about to consume next week!" 🦃  Well tuba fans, ask and you shall receive. My second studio album, called Voyager, is a partial reference to the ludicrous amount of travel I've done over the past few years (👋🏻 hello Southwest companion pass), but also references the geographical scope of the music on the album - hopefully there's something for everyone! 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇫🇷🇸🇪

Featured on the album:

☀️ A work I commissioned by the great @kevindaymusic
📎 Two staples of the tuba repertoire (Casterède Sonatine and Hindemith Sonata)
🪵 The hygge-inducing Sang Till Lotta, gleefully stolen from all the trombonists in my life I’ve heard play it over the years

Check it out (link in bio), and let me know what you think - and also let me know what holiday side dish best accompanies each track 🥔🎶
