It’s all hands on deck for this week’s episode, as your three hosts chat with pianist/coach Janna Ernst. You’ll hear her take on the importance of setting boundaries, supporting each other, and the unreasonable expectations that are put on young musicians.

We dig into the unfortunate and common trend of teacher/mentor abuse in classical music. The people who should be building up their students-especially in a competitive field such as music-are the same ones destroying their confidence and passion for the art. Why do they tear us down to build us back up? And why has it been glorified as an acceptable trend? Take a listen as we dive into the tea that hasn’t necessarily been the easiest to spill
