Program Goals
The aim of this program is to help advanced students to develop their own skills for resolving their challenges of their daily practice and their preparation for public performances. In other words, the main skills outlined here are the capacity to study consciously with the support of specific techniques and to prepare for performances. In this way, students can turn their practice time into a work of art, and the feeling of obligation to study will be replaced with a sense of real enjoyment.
The program offers solutions to a basic problem: the lack of daily practice strategies, which affects student’s relationship with their instrument and their relationship with the stage. It is an organic program in which a harmonious relationship between mind, emotions and body is fundamental for success. It provides a framework for students to become their own best teachers in their daily study process.
It is thus an approach that not only supports their daily practice but also provides tools that will help them develop a free and expressive interpretation of their musical repertoire.
The Conscious Musician Program® proposes a holistic vision of studying, performing, and relating to your instrument and to the world of sound. It highlights the importance of our mind, emotions, and body as a united whole. It is the emotional level that connects the mental and the physical levels. All this work helps students to turn stage fright into enjoyment and a moment of authentic and powerful expression.
We hope you enjoy the concert!
