Welcome to Episode 1166 of the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen, with an episode titled: "Music to My Ears: AI Adds New Notes to Coaching Sessions." In this session where we delve into the fascinating world of the intersection of coaching and the creation and use of AI Music in the Coaching Setting.

The host Severin Sorensen explores how AI music apps are revolutionizing coaching by energizing sessions, enhancing creativity, and transforming meetings. He shares numerous examples of AI-generated jingles, meditations, and energizers created using Suno. ai to showcase how music can elevate moods and facilitate productive sessions. Highlights include an upbeat podcast jingle, “Rise and Shine,” humorous renditions of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat," motivational energizers like "Revive and Thrive," and personalized songs set to music such as “Strums of the Sage Soul” and “Thoughts and Feelings.” Severin demonstrates Suno.ai’s capabilities for customizing genre, vocals, and styles to match desired tones and atmospheres. Key insights shared are that AI is redefining creative expression, expanding musical capabilities, and enabling richer human-computer collaboration.

Numerous musical illustrations of AI music developed for the coaching setting are demonstrated.

The podcast closes with five thoughts; (1) "AI is not just creating new kinds of art, it’s creating new kinds of artists." (2) "With AI, we’re not just listening to music, we’re exploring the frontiers of creativity." (3) "The fusion of AI and music is like adding a new color to the palette of a painter." (4) "In the world of AI music, we’re not just composers or listeners, we’re collaborators in an unfolding creative process." And, (5) "AI in music is not about replacing the human touch, it’s about augmenting our capacity to experience and create sound."
