Whole Musician is a non-profit (501(c)3) collaboration of five uniquely experienced music educators who offer both in-person and online residencies and workshops. The Whole Musician team has developed a holistic curriculum addressing the mental, physical, and musical demands placed on the 21st century performer. The concept was born from lengthy and deep discussions about how the music field is constantly changing and how music education and artistry need to continue to evolve in order to craft fulfilling musical experiences in the twenty-first century. The team members are passionate about their art, their pedagogy, and the team concept. Through exploration of our music, body, and mind, the Whole Musician team empowers performers of all genres to realize their full artistic power and expression. Rik’s coaching background has helped him moderate many deep discussions between artists in attendance, helping each form a stronger relationship with themselves and those around them.
