I'm learning Clean Interviewing - skills of not letting your own biases shape the other person's answers - and I want to do an assessment thing to get a qualification in it, which means I need a few people to "practise on"!

Would anyone like to volunteer to be interviewed over Zoom for 20 mins or so? about their musical journey as an adult, or current wish for that?

I could pick any topic, but I thought this would be a good theme to go with, because creating adult-learner music groups, or just encouraging people to have a go and enjoy it, are things I'm planning to do more of! So your thoughts and experiences along the way could feed in to better support for other people on similar paths 😄

For example,
•you could be just now resolving "I want to be playing music"
•you could've recently acquired an instrument or dusted one off, or joined a group or started looking into possibilities
•it could be you're playing regularly now.

Doesn't matter what kind of music!

And you could be starting fresh with pretty much no experience yet, or you could be coming back to music a bit "rusty" after leaving off in childhood.

(Or maybe you did get into music as an adult, a while ago, and you'd be happy to think back about that. Or maybe you're someone who's supported other people to get into music.)

Time zone considerations: I'm in England, so people on the America/Canada side of the world would probably need to be available in a morning or early afternoon.

I'd like to find at least one or two people who wouldn't mind their interview being recorded, so that I can pick one or more of the recordings to use for being assessed for the qualification. This would only be seen/heard by me and the people reviewing it - who'd be interested primarily in my interviewing-skills, rather than your actual answers :-)

Or, if you don't want to be recorded, I'd still potentially be up for one or two unrecorded ones, just as practice and for the interest of the topic.

Let me know if you might be up for it, or feel free to pass the info on to a friend!

Boosts appreciated :-)
