Welcome to Practice Space
Practice Space is a video podcast for musicians and music students, published Monday - Saturday on YouTube.
Each episode offers practical tips, thoughtful insights and guided meditations to help you show up to your instrument with joy, curiosity, and confidence. Overcome procrastination, stay curious, and bring more creativity into your daily music practice.
Designed like a meditation app for musicians, each video leads you straight into your daily practice: take out your instrument, settle in for a few minutes of gentle chat and a guided meditation, then begin playing.
You can browse the archives below or subscribe to the podcast on YouTube for daily videos.

Feeling stuck in your music practice?
When we learn an instrument or to sing, some days feel amazing, some feel frustrating, and some even feel boring.
