If music symbols had personality....

Said no real musician ever...

A violinist played for 45 minutes in a New York subway...

Only a handful of people stopped, a couple clapped, and the violinist raised about $30 in tips.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. In that subway, Joshua played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars 😮

Two days before he played in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out a Boston theatre, and the seats averaged about $120 per ticket.

The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine and is so often overlooked and undervalued. (Read that again)

There are brilliantly talented people everywhere who aren't receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. But once they arm themselves with value and confidence and remove themselves from an environment that isn’t serving them, they thrive and grow. 💣

Your gut is telling you something. Listen to it if it's telling you where you are isn't enough - Go where you are appreciated and valued.

Know Your Worth 👊 ❤️

On a family holiday, but first, music!

My beautiful friend painted me at the piano.
I absolutely love it. Inspired to play daily 💙

30yrs ago this month I commemced my Bachelor of Music journey at the University of Adelaide, with a Major in Piano, Harp and Composition and later Grad Dip Education.

I was flooded with memories walking back into one of my music lesson and rehearsal rooms at Elder Hall. That familiar old smell!

The tinkering of tunes still fills the hallways

Anyone else relate? 🤣

I've found many times in life when I've been asked to join a band, a worship team, play harp or piano for an event, given a new job it is not because I am 'the best' musician but because I am consistent and reliable.
I show up! I listen, learn and get it done 🔥

How will you show up musically in 2024?
