I heard from another instructor that they work hard to find the best music so they aren’t giving their playlist away and I was so perplexed by that mindset.

I will give you my whole playlist because they truth is, another instructor in the same studio can play the same playlist and it STILL not hit like it does when I do it cause we are not the same. The music isn’t the only thing that makes the class pop.

I’m never more flattered than when someone asks me for a song link

10+ years teaching, and for me it’s never been about gatekeeping a song. The challenge is that some instructors think the playlist is what makes the class. What they don’t see are the hours I spend building it or the money I invest buying high-quality edits, remixes, and custom tracks that aren’t just pulled from Apple Music or SoundCloud. Because of that, I choose not to post or share my playlists publicly. I do understand why it can be frustrating when instructors don’t respond, but for me, opening that door usually turns into people wanting my entire library instead of a song or two. If you’re a loyal rider or someone I’ve built a relationship with, I’m happy to share. What gets discouraging is when another instructor only reaches out for my music, never offers feedback, never talks coaching, and isn’t interested in anything beyond the playlist. At that point, it starts to feel less like collaboration and more like being used.

I’m an unpopular *maybe* opinion here and I promise I finished your video 😂as a 6+ yr-er…I gatekeep songs from coworkers but nobody else 😩 if a member or even anyone on socials asked for it I’d be super gracious. Someone coaching from my studio? No 😭
