239: Getting Out Of Your Own Way, with Dylan Hart

We're joined by Dylan Hart, one of the top French Horn players in Hollywood today. He has played on many well-known soundtracks including Moana, Frozen, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Baywatch, The Good Place, and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

You're about to hear Dylan's unlikely journey to becoming a highly-successful session player, concert performer, and French horn teacher.

In this conversation Dylan shares:

• The importance of "getting out of your own way" when playing - and how to do that.

• His unexpected advice on how to sight read at the extremely high level required of session players.

• Why we must look for the root cause of problems rather than just treating symptoms - and how that applies to practicing off your instrument, sight-reading, and performing at your best under pressure.

In everything he does and teaches, Dylan has a focus on the inner instinct for music and a deep connection with your instrument. You're going to love this conversation packed with thought-provoking ideas.
