Pascale Rubens: Teachers Talk ~ Nerves, Comfort & Joy

Chatterbox with Mel Biggs

Everyone has a comfort zone - even the multi-talented musicians who you might assume are impervious to such things. How can we challenge ourselves to overcome our uncertainties and nervousness to take a risk and break free of the pigeon holes we put ourselves in? Are you motivated by feeling the joy music brings to others?

Pascale Rubens is a composer, singer, teacher and diatonic accordionist best known as one half of multi award winning Belgian folk duo Naragonia. This month's conversation takes a relaxed route, finding many commonalities along the way. Through talk of finding vs making time for creativity amongst everything else life entails, drastic career changes and finding the accordion later in life, and getting geeky over our shared passion for teaching and being a part of our student's successes. Also, I get nosey about how Naragonia's secret sauce is made...

A thoroughly lovely chat in which you get to hear two friends deepen their acquaintance, and mutual appreciation of each other's work.
