Performance Freedom
“I just want to be able to do what I know I can do.”
You know
you can play well enough to win that audition, if only you could play the way you can in the practice room.
What would it be like to showcase your abilities authentically, unburdened by self-doubt and external pressures?
There is
a whole panoply of tools that can help you chisel away at everything that is not serving you to reveal the consummate artist within.
Unlike traditional audition preparation, our program transcends the conventional by weaving together coaching tools, guided visualizations, resilience training, and physical exercises for a transformative learning experience. You'll benefit from feedback and guidance offered by a certified massage therapist and hypnotherapist, coupled with insights from a principal cellist, professor, and musicians' coach. Together, their expertise comprehensively addresses all aspects of achieving peak performance.
