Songs Through Their Eyes - Podcast

12/01/2022

🔔🎶NEW EPISODE!
Grief moved through all of our lives in one way or another over the last 3 years, both in terms of the physical lives lost, and the lives we “could’ve” had.

Andre Jamal talks about how the death of someone he knew was a catalyst for reflection on many of the changes he experienced in life before and after that.

“Grieving”, which he co-wrote and produced, brings to light the journey we all take in the fight for our own peace.

In this episode, Daniella Hope (whose birthday is today!) shines poetic light on her "day one's"-- her community of friends and supporters that have been in her corner throughout her journey as a person, artist, and growth seeker. She shares how the love of others has helped her to heal and empower her sense of self in the midst of and after challenging periods in her life. Being there through the tough times, makes celebrating the fun times that much sweeter and richer!

🔔UPDATE: It’s been a while, but we’re getting back into the swing of things! I’m happy to announce that ‘Songs Through Their Eyes” is now available on Spotify!🎉🤸🏾‍♂️🕺🏾🎊

🎙️I want to use this moment to highlight one of the episodes I previously posted, entitled “Ode to Jody’s Grandfather,” with Dr. Jody Kerchner, Professor of Music Education & Director of the Pedagogy, Advocacy, and Community Music Engagement Division at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music! It’s heartfelt, insightful, and definitely worth a listen!

In the spirit of Father’s day, Dr. Jody Kerchner and I honor her paternal ancestor through song, as we think about the ways in which we are challenged or encouraged to show up in the world as innately creative beings. There's a slight plot twist in regards to the song in this episode, and you might even hear some vocals from yours truly!

As you listen to this episode I invite you to reflect upon the ways in which *you* show up creatively, and not just artistically. And how does that benefit all of those who have come before you and those who are coming after you? Come join us in those ideas and more in today’s conversation! See you inside!

Will Foote switches up how we think a love song should go! He's not only worked with the documentary songwriting process for 10+ years (from its early development), but he continuously helps shape the evolution of the practice now.

What in the world do we do with the love we come into the world with? In this episode, we talk about the challenge of balancing some of the different ways that shows up in real life. Some day, that harmony will come!

Unapologetic plug! We are co-facilitating the 2022 June (5-11) Teaching Artist Training Intensive! I'm setting the intention for love ALL UP and AROUND and THROUGH our virtual space with DocSong community students, teaching artists, board members, powerful story sources, and humanitarian musicians alike!

Just had an amazing convo earlier today with (guest from the most recent episode) about how we can seek to show up for ourselves as both the student and our own teacher simultaneously. ♎♒

Link in the bio for more thoughtful, warm, authentic (and musical!) insight from Clara!

As above, so below. As within, so without. Our inner universe is a fractal representation & iteration of the Source of it all. Asé!✨

Clara Schneid drops some gems around internal and interpersonal growth and healing in her journey!

How do we take care of ourselves when we are also trying to take care of the people that we care about after they have harmed us?
