Sound mind is all about ending the stigma around mental health in classical music, and one of the big things that we're really hitting on is the fact that there's a stigma around what success is and looks in the classical music world and how that affects people, people in our community, artists in general.
What happens when the pressure of perfection meets the passion for music? In this episode of 'The Labyrinth and the Thread', Amelia Aldred sits down with the team from Sound Mind Musician to explore the delicate balance between mental health and success in the classical music world. Alexandria Hoffman, a dedicated flutist and co-founder of Sound Mind Musician, along with her colleague Kevin Gupana, share their personal journeys and the mission behind their initiative.
They dive into how the competitive nature of classical music can strain mental well-being and why it's crucial to redefine what success means in this field. From dealing with unexpected challenges like the pandemic to finding solace in routines and community, this conversation is a heartfelt exploration of the highs and lows musicians face. The episode also touches on maintaining one's identity amidst constant change, offering listeners a mix of practical advice and emotional support.
Whether you're a musician or someone interested in mental health, this episode provides a compassionate look at navigating the complexities of life and art.
