Welcome to the last candid chat episode of 2022! This episode is a cozy collection of our holiday traditions, our intentions for the new year, and a sampling of some offerings you can look for in 2023.
This month we had the pleasure of speaking with pianist Patrick Cashin. He shared with us his personal journey through injury, what supported him in his recovery, and how he now helps other pianists prevent injury through a holistic and physiologically informed approach to playing the piano.
Bio:
Described by CBC Radio as “a truly original interpretive voice,” pianist Patrick Cashin is becoming known as a distinctive presence on the Canadian music scene. He designs unique recitals centered around the best of the piano repertoire and particularly enjoys playing Mozart piano concertos, in which he improvises and composes cadenzas in the style of Mozart.
Patrick draws from a wide array of experience in both classical and non-classical music, having tried on many musical hats during his formative years in St. John’s, Newfoundland. As a student at Memorial University, he won several competitions including the Atlantic Young Artist and Petro-Canada Young Artist Competition, resulting in some early success playing recital tours and concertos with local orchestras.
He left Newfoundland to study for two years at the Glenn Gould School in Toronto, then at the University of Montreal, where he completed his doctorate under the guidance of legendary piano pedagogue Marc Durand.
Over the years, Patrick has studied in master classes with many brilliant musicians of the older generation, including Ferenc Rados, Robert Levin and Leon Fleisher. He leads a busy collaborative career performing with soloists and ensembles in the Montreal area. As a teacher, he is passionate about helping other pianists prevent and recover from piano-related injuries by playing with healthy technique.

Welcome to fall! Are we pumpkin spice latte people? Listen to this months candid chat to find out what’s in our cup this season, and hear what new goodies we have launching for you this month!
Ever wondered what happens when you sing, what methods to use for effective practice, and how to advocate for yourself as a performer? Listen to this riveting episode with tenor Philippe Castagner; he shares his journey back from a career that had fallen apart, how he taught himself what he needed to know to succeed, and so much more.
Philippe Bio:
Philippe Castagner is a professional operatic tenor. After winning the Metropolitan Opera National Council Audition at the age of 22, his career briefly flourished, but proved unsustainable. After determining that the cause of his failure was a lack of technical preparation, psychological resilience, and physical fitness, he set out to craft a new vocal pedagogy using historical and contemporary sources. The resulting "New School Singing" is a pedagogical system built on the premises that the human voice is not an instrument, that voice culture is the process of influencing a living being, and that vocal techniques are species of direct action rather than examples of tool use. As a result of applying this new philosophy to his own singing practice, he was able to successfully return to life as a professional operatic tenor, singing lead roles on stages in Germany, Czechia, and Italy. His experience compelled him to start Mister Opera, a sometimes controversial YouTube channel that seeks to educate, entertain, and advocate for consumers of vocal pedagogy. He currently resides in Pilsen, Czechia.

Dr. Jan Dommerholt, PT, DPT, MPS is an accomplished and experienced Dutch-trained physical therapist. In addition to his physical therapy education, he has studied at New York University where he completed a course of study in Performing Artists Disorders (NYU Human Performance Analysis Laboratory). He completed a Master of Professional Studies with a concentration in biomechanical trauma and health administration from Lynn University, and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. Dr. Dommerholt is a former Diplomate of the Academy of Integrative Pain Management (before the society went out of business) and a member of several medical and physical therapy professional organizations.
Dr. Dommerholt is a recognized expert in the physical therapy diagnosis and treatment of persons with myofascial pain syndrome, chronic pain syndromes, and whiplash-associated disorders.
He has published several books, over 130 articles, and nearly 80 chapters in medical and physical therapy textbooks on myofascial pain, chronic pain conditions, fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, and whiplash. Dr. Dommerholt prepares a quarterly literature review column on myofascial pain syndrome for the Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies.
Dr. Dommerholt has also specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of musicians with musculoskeletal problems. As a former clarinetist and saxophonist, Dr. Dommerholt has combined his interests in music and physical therapy. His final thesis in his physical therapy education was titled Musica et Medicina and focused on medical problems of wind instrumentalists. Since then, he has authored several articles on performing arts physical therapy and contributed chapters to most leading medical textbooks on performing arts medicine.
Dr. Dommerholt has studied physical therapy approaches for persons with craniomandibular pain and completed an advanced internship with Dr. Mariano Rocabado in Santiago, Chile. Dr. Dommerholt has published in this field as well and is one of the few physical therapy members in Maryland of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain. His contributions and expertise were recognized when the AAOP invited Dr. Dommerholt two years in a row to be an invited speaker at its annual conference. In addition, the AAOP selected Dr. Dommerholt to teach a certification program in dry needling for orofacial pain and headaches geared toward dentists and physical therapists.
Dr. Dommerholt introduced dry needling to the United States in 1997. Since then, he has studied dry needling techniques in Europe, the United States, and Canada, and has incorporated these techniques into his manual therapy practice. He has written several articles about dry needling and frequently assists state boards and professional organizations on the issue of dry needling. He is recognized as a specialized practitioner of dry needling by the Maryland Board of Physical Therapy Examiners.
Dr. Dommerholt has taught hundreds of courses and lectured at over 60 conferences throughout the United States, Australia, Europe, Central and South America, and the Middle East while maintaining an active clinical practice.

Happy New Year! We welcome 2019 by spending time with our guest, violinist Karin Harrell, talking about endurance events, violin playing, what she did and didn't learn in music conservatory, and the new adventure of going back to school to study Occupational Therapy. Karin performs all over the country with different orchestras and ensembles but currently calls Dallas her home. We caught up with her between the dress rehearsal and concert and discussed how she keeps in touch with the people she cares about (all over the country), what she eats before performances and athletic events and how she carries knowledge from one aspect of life into another. Enjoy!
Our guest on this episode is Dr. Christine Craddock, bassist and martial arts enthusiast who performers all over Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and beyond. We caught up with her between rehearsals in Tulsa about the impact martial arts has on her bass playing, and how she uses it in her everyday musical life from controlling her mindset to warming up her body physically. We also talk about bassists she admires, and how she deals with all of the driving. We go on a few fun tangents and giggle a whole bunch in this episode, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!
