Settle in for an entertaining episode that includes advice to writers working to publish in this genre.

Episode 7 Show Notes

This episode is full of practical points on being a musician, how one conveys music skills to students, and includes a creative account of how to get a guitar to a young person across the ocean.

Vijay-Kumar Solanki’s work encompasses live music, performance, teaching and learning. In his interview with us in Episode 7, he shared his view that innovation means taking something from one context and using it in a fresh way in a new context.

With that in mind, take a trip over to Planet Solanki, where Vijay teaches guitar (and some philosophy), using a common language approach to reach learners at all levels. And if you want to hear Vijay perform, keep your eye out for his bands, the Stiff Dills and LCT.
