I teach a small group of students each year who are looking to get better at live performance.
I work primarily with guitarists and vocalists.
What is Performance Coaching
Performance coaching helps musicians identify and assess their unique challenges and strengths and helps performers learn the valuable mental skills that will enable them to perform at high levels.
Performance skills help musicians:

Let go of mistakes and frustration
-
Use the positive characteristics of perfectionism and eliminate the unhealthy ones

Identify the fear that can keep them from performing their best
-
Set appropriate and effective goals
-
Use effective pre-performance routines to build confidence and focus
-
Incorporate mental rehearsal, imagery, and positive self-talk into preparation
-
Devise effective and efficient practice plans
