Perfectionism in the Music Studio Revisited with Claire Allen & Christine Goodner

Claire Allen joins me this week to discuss and reflect on perfectionism and perfectionist thinking in the music studio, one year after we published our podcast series where we went in depth on the topic. We’re excited to share what has stuck with us and helped us personally as well as in our teaching and approach to music.
