Thank you for downloading the show! Welcome to Everybody Speaks Music. Today Kris and Mojo are joined by Ali Gibb.

Alison  juggles a lot of responsibilities during her day job at Electronic Arts and today we peak into how she’s managed to transfer her skill set into learning music.

Welcome to episode nine of Follow Up Fridays. We're getting to the homestretch of our first season and I can't thank you enough for going along this journey with myself and Mojo. I thought to close it out, I would do a four part series, one that covers all the aspects of having a vision and getting it to the finish line. I hope you'll enjoy a little peek into my process.

We've got Katie Brock joining us today. And Katie is an amazing children's entertainer and songwriter, composer performer. And she's really got a great purpose behind her music and the way that she reaches families. And that's kind of funny, because as I'm telling you this right now, my two year old Olivia; who should be in bed; is actually playing with my preamp. So what an appropriate way to introduce the show. I don't have a lot of time here. Mojo, I gotta get moving, so what do you say we get right to it.

How about that episode with Ethan Smith? By the time you hear this, he'll have just finished performing in front of over 18,000 people in Rogers Arena at the Canucks game. Can you believe that? In that episode, one thing was really clear. Ethan's calm, he's having fun. And he really looks forward to opportunities to perform.

Musicians can use the exact same tools that athletes have been using for years. And science and studies have definitely backed this. I mean, you don't have to look very far to find out that it's conclusive. If you visualize or do guided imagery, or guided visualization on anything you're interested in, your performance will improve. The most amazing thing about this is that imagery is a skill anyone can learn, improve and benefit from regardless of their age, gender, where they're from, it doesn't matter. No matter what your situation. If you put some time into developing this ability, you will show improvement.
