The age old question: How can I balance life and (insert instrument)?

We all love our musical lives, and they bring us a lot of fulfillment. But we also want to feel like we are living a life outside of our instrument. How do we do both?

While this is a question everyone must answer themselves, renowned trumpeter and my friend Josh Kauffman of The Army Blues humbly submits his experience as a potential answer for people.

He talks about how one injury taught him about slowing down, and not expecting to "figure everything out" by the end of college.

He talks about how his SECOND injury taught him the importance of choosing gear that will help us play well but ALSO play HEALTHY.

And my personal favorite part, he talks about how becoming a father has taught him about cultivating and curating a meaningful career as a trumpet artist.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Keep on keepin' on!
