Take a mindful moment with us!

We’re so delighted to close out our second season of the Music Helps podcast with today’s special guest, none other than award-winning pianist, and mindfulness teacher, Eliza McCarthy.

An extraordinary musician who specialises in performing new and experimental music, Eliza also teaches ‘Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for Performing Artists’ at Guildhall School and University of Birmingham, and shares her thoughts with us on the topic of music and wellbeing.

If you’re interested in learning more about mindfulness, check out Eliza’s recommendations; Jon Kabat-Zinn and Tara Brach…

Eliza also picked some cracking musical choices, so why not check out ‘Raw Data Field’ by Everything Everything, Deja Vu by Beyonce & Jay Z and the collected Disney pieces of Alan Menken &Howard Ashman!
