Beethoven to Beepop: How A Classical Pianist Became a Jazz Performer with Melanie Shore

What a thrill it was for me to get to interview Melanie Shore! She is such a fun person and has had incredible experiences as a professional jazz musician, performer, and composer. In this episode, we'll discuss Melanie's journey as a artist, from thinking about music in a technical way as a classical pianist, to a creative, improv-driven jazz musician. She takes us through what that transition was like for her, how it changed her perception of music, and how it helped her to develop even more skills that helped her as a musician.
