When Rachel Bell's grandmother suggested she pick up the accordion her answer was "No way!" Eventually her education in music led her straight back to the accordion and this time around she fell in love. It's different than other instruments in a variety of ways and as Rachel says, "you can strap it on, it welds into your body and you can feel the vibrations as you play." Collaboration is where her heart is. It's a way to be in good company with fellow musicians she admires, exchange ideas and also be inspired to try something she wouldn't have thought of on her own. She reminds us to take in as much inspiration from as many sources as possible and that if we feel stuck, go outside, get filled up by nature and keep on moving ahead.

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”
