For Musicians and Performing Artists

Many musicians, actors, and dancers experience a marked difference in their performance levels during as an important concert, while filming, or during a show, versus backstage or during rehearsal.  The difference can vary considerably and the Artist who is amazing during a practice session, might well be a disaster during a critical performance.  Peak Performance Training can open the door to your inner creative energy flow, releasing you from patterns that slow you down, and inhibit mastery of your art.

Problems on the performance platform can include:

• Memory loss
• Anxiety
• Panic
• Poor concentration
• Audience Distractions
• Anxiety for fast, technically difficult passages
• Loss of muscle control, stiffness, sweaty, weak or trembling hands
• Mental blocks
• Flash-backs of poor performances
• Having to abandon your performance

Each of the above listed problems all interfere with an Artists ability to sing, play, dance, or even speak.  Through Peak Performance Training, it is possible to work with your anxiety, learn what lies behind it, work with negative thought patterns, and fine tune your focus, so that your energy can be redirected into the music, strengthening your performance, enhancing creativity and expression, and increasing your self-confidence.
