The Resilient Arist

Many moons ago I started writing a series of blogs about being a resilient artist but the time never seemed right to publish them. I even wrote out an idea for a business called Resilient Creative but life took over and the idea stayed in a notebook. Then the pandemic hit, the world turned upside down and changed the arts arena as we knew it. One evening I was chatting to my long time colleague and friend Rachael Forsyth about the state of the arts and we pondered on how we might recover as an industry. She mentioned some thoughts she was writing about, I mentioned the previous blogs and voilà, we had a book idea.

If you’re struggling to get back into the rhythm of creating, then How To Be A Resilient Artist is for you. You may be looking to boost your creativity in some way, to find a new way of working or regain some areas of your art that have fallen apart. You’re not alone, many people go through a “wilderness” period with their creativity. It’s all part of the artistic journey. Life is full of difficult twists and turns; recession, divorce, death, illness, failed businesses and of course, the unforeseen pandemic. All of these situations are tough for anyone working in business, however the unpredictable nature of the creative industries can make this a lot tougher. For others it could be that boredom and lack of direction has brought you to a halt and you’re now not sure how to kick start your enjoyment of playing your instrument or picking up your paintbrushes. These “wilderness” periods can be confusing, disorientating and draining. They also give us the opportunity to assess where we’re going and what we want out of life and ultimately, our music. The trick is not to let the “wilderness” journey overwhelm you but redirect you.

This book is designed to give you some hope that your setback is only a season and not a life sentence! Better times will come and eventually you will feel stronger from what you have learnt through this experience. There are plenty of ideas to get the creative juices going, and stories of how we overcame obstacles and found a new way to make things work. It’s always possible to recover from the pressure and regain a rhythm of working and performing.

Whether you’re an amateur or a professional, this book has insights and tips on how to reinvigorate your creativity and regain your focus. Whatever season you are in, you can make a fresh start and discover the creativity within you.

The Resilient Arist 2020 was one year that few of us will ever forget and one that has seen a massive impact on the creative industries and mental health.

Just writing to wish you all a happy Christmas! What a year it has been, I'm amazed at how well all of you have adapted to the new teaching circumstances. Despite the pandemic, students have still entered exams, performed live (via the internet!) and continued to learn a wide variety of music. I'm very proud of you all!

Looking forward to seeing you all in January!

Roo Records Music

During lockdown we know how important music can be. Not only for boosing mental helf and encouraging self expression. But also distractions for the kids so you get a few minutes to get work done, or time for them to do something constructive so you can have a quick cuppa in piece!

This is why we are launching our song books as PDF downloads.

Dig out the ukuleles - get them tuned up and learn to play finger picking style!

Need some help? No problem! We will be running youtube video tutorial and facebook live sessions to offer free help for those who have downloaded our book. We will also be posting some free backing tracks to use with the book soon!
