A bar of music is not a joke. It is our passion.
Enjoy a 90-minute workshop explaining the Model of the Mind and providing hypnosis experience and self-hypnosis tools to assist musicians.
Throughout my career, I've encountered countless musicians who silently grapple with internal obstacles, hindering their ability to reach their full potential. These challenges are diverse and often deeply personal. Stage fright paralyzes performers, whether they're playing for small gatherings or in large halls. Many freeze during critical auditions. Technical issues plague even accomplished artists, from bow or breath control and tone production to intonation. Beyond the music itself, performers struggle with body image concerns, unhealthy habits, and the elusive "flow" during critical performances, auditions, and competitions.
The manifestations of these inner battles vary. Some overcompensate, "over-playing' instead of expressing themselves authentically. Others shrink from the spotlight, unable to bring their practice room playing to the stage. Many find it challenging to genuinely connect with the music, themselves, fellow performers, or the audience. For some, burnout has robbed them of passionate music-making.
While a fortunate few thrive under the pressure of live performance, many more experience the opposite. It is these people I am here to help - through workshops or private sessions.
