Buscando El FLOW🎙️ ENTREVISTA a Vincent Van Gogh | PINTORES FAMOSOS 🎨| IMPRESIONISMO | 1er parte.¡Hola a todos! Hoy estoy muy emocionado por este experimento en un nuevo episodio de “Buscando el Flow”. Hoy vamos a dar un paseo por la vida y obra del gran Vincent Van Gogh.

In 1987, Michael Moore exclusively interviewed Ronald Ebens, the former Chrysler autoworker who, along with his laid-off autoworker stepson, brutally beat a Chinese-American man named Vincent Chin to death with a baseball bat in Detroit 5 years earlier. A witness heard Ebens tell Chin and his Asian-American friend that they "were the reason we're all getting laid off" -- a reference to the scapegoating of the Japanese for the American auto industry cutting jobs (again, Chin was Chinese, but that made no difference to his killer...

I know I am not perfect and never will be perfect, but that's okay because perfection is not a synonym for reality but rather the worst metaphor.

A career change away from music can be deemed by our colleagues in the music industry as so and so can't quite "cut it" as a musician so he /she needs to pivot to something that is unrelated. Comparing this to say an accountant who decides to go into digital marketing is probably less likely to be judged by his/her colleagues as incompetent. That being said, I...

Part of me feels that if I had done the same I would be a more holistic musician and perhaps more proficient in the instrument if we are talking about the 10 000 hours rule. The more skeptical side of mind thinks that I might grow to hate practicing and never take on this profession... Perhaps sometimes parents do not know what they are truly signing up for when they put their children through music education from an early age...

You Play A What?YPAW 8: Derek KohI have so much respect for fellow musicians who decides to pick up a new instrument. In these situations, more often than not, the musician will be adding on to their skill set by picking up an instrument that is either quite close to the principal instrument (eg. euphonium and trombone) or the piano (normal/compulsory amongst European conservatories). It is quite rare to switch to another instrument that is wildly different. I would be almost inconceivable when I tell you that my guest today gave up his career as an award winning Yangqin (扬琴, Chinese Dulcimer) player and is now...
