A 5-week video and audio course to help you move through your performance blocks towards Inspired Performance.
In an ideal world, you always perform to the best of your ability with adrenalin supporting and enhancing your performance. But the reality can often be different. Musicians who love music and love the experience of playing and singing, can feel dogged by performance anxiety that is both uncomfortable to deal with and destructive to the performance. There can be many underlying causes but sometimes it’s difficult to know what they are and what to do about them.
How this online course can help
- It covers key areas that can be contributors to Performance Anxiety and gives you a chance to address those topics in detail
- It gives you the opportunity to focus on one area at a time in an easy, manageable way. By taking one main idea on a daily basis and practising it in, you learn more on a practical level than if you were reading it as a book
- It focuses on areas that are rarely covered in the music education field
- It gives you an opportunity to explore these ideas from the privacy of your own home without fellow musicians knowing, if this is important to you.
- You can also share your ideas ‘incognito’ on the Community Wall. (To do this go to the drop down menu on the right hand side of the navigation bar. Select Settings and change your name to whatever you like.)
- It is the only course of this type (to my knowledge) in the musical world at large.
What you will learn
This course takes you on a journey. It helps you move beyond the unpleasant performance nerves to build an inner environment of safety in which you can feel free to express yourself as you’d like to supported. It is packed with strategies to help you shift your own personal stumbling blocks out of the way, to give you the best personal chance on stage.
- We will look at how you can best hone your skills so that you can support yourself on stage exploring skills such as practising, memorising and keeping your focus.
- We’ll be looking at the psychological and emotional components of practising and performing to find the stumbling blocks that are getting in your way.
-
- You will meet your Inner Critic and learn how to transform that part of yourself
- You will learn how to aim for excellence rather than perfection
- You will learn how to deal with different levels of stress en route to your most demanding, challenging performance
And much, much more…
What people say about working with Charlotte...
“Charlotte’s insight into my performance anxiety problems was amazing – after only a couple of sessions she’d nailed the causes, and we immediately got stuck into working together to resolve them – hard work sometimes, but we had fun too, and the results have been completely worth it!”
Anthony L. Jazz pianist
