Performance coaching for ensembles
Rehearsing and performing together as an ensemble has its own unique set of challenges. It’s essential to find a shared musical language but often the problems that destabilise a group are emotional and relational.
“We've lost our flow - how can we find it again?”
What I offer you is the opportunity to be able to talk openly about your concerns with the group from a position of complete neutrality and in an emotionally safe space.
Chamber Ensembles
Together we understand what the issues are that you may be facing and move towards solutions for them. We find ways you can create your own emotionally secure base as a group and the music becomes a litmus test: when you feel safe enough together, you find a freedom which inspires you to express the music to the peak of your ability as an ensemble.
