What is Performance Coaching?

Performance Coaching helps musicians perform at their peak. We focus on you as a human being, and support you by clearing any mental, emotional or physical blocks that get in the way of you performing. Working in this way, you can be surprised at how easily and quickly your music-making improves, often without any extra practicing.

I work with classical instrumentalists and vocalists—student, amateur or professional.

How the process works

We talk together, explore how you play and the sound you make, always working intuitively. We map your personality to understand what is blocking you from playing to your full potential, all within an emotionally safe space. We then find ways of moving ahead with practical steps and strategies.
