Education and Discussion

Mindful Musical Life, Episode 2
podcast interview


There is a lot more to music than playing the notes. In this podcast Kevin Miescke, founder of Mindful Musical Life, interviews musicians about their experiences with all forms of contemplative practice. We explore everything from yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques, to mindful exercise and much more. There is something new to learn with every episode, and you will discover that what often starts with the goal of improving one's performance on stage turns into something much more.

Iowa Public Radio: Symphonies of Iowa
radio interview

In this pre-concert interview with Jacqueline Halbloom, classical music host and producer, Cayla discusses her background in bassoon, repertoire and approaches to performance, and the bassoon concerto Red Maple​ by Joan Tower.
