Episode 95: The Return Of Mark Zauss

<p>My guest for this episode is Mark Zauss. &nbsp;</p> <p>Mark is back by popular demand for another hang. There are few people who can talk about the physical and mental demands of the modern trumpet player as authoritatively as Mark. His seemingly magical range and power made him a mainstay at Disney's Magic Kingdom with both Future Corp and The Main Street Philharmonic. But when you combine his battle-tested chops with his skills as a licensed clinical psychotherapist, you get the ultimate resource for your trumpet playing woes. &nbsp;</p> <p>Check out what Mark has to say about how the pandemic has affected our mental health, the increase of anxiety in musicians, practical ways to deal with anxiety, focusing on the breath, why things tend to go wrong, how he resets after a tough set, tips to coordinate the mind and body, the breathing process, understanding triggers, reframing, the importance of routine, his approach to warming up, learning to put it all together, learning from your students, and so much more! &nbsp;</p> <p>So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!&nbsp;</p> <p>—--------------------------------------------------------------&nbsp;</p> <p>Want to schedule a lesson with Mark?
