Topics to explore
career goals
After spending twenty years as a freelance working musician, it’s my priority to help high school and college age musicians understand what to expect as a music major or professional musician. Along with learning more about musical career options, we’ll discuss your unique interests, talents and ambitions. I offer support in creating short, medium and long term goals and developing the skills and habits to meet those goals.
college life
Pursuing a bachelor’s degree in music is a unique and demanding experience. It is not uncommon for music degrees to require more credit hours than other degrees, and many essential music classes demand a huge quantity of rigorous study for only one credit hour. In addition, music students juggle general education classes, frequent performances and a necessarily full social life with their musical colleagues. I specialize in helping students prioritize responsibilities and maintain their own musical identity in this demanding environment.
sustainable creative habits
It’s easy to forget that our everyday lifestyle and habits dramatically impact our creativity. Discover what self-regulation methods work for you personally to foster your joy and energy as a musician.
handling performance anxiety
Even the most experienced musicians can struggle with performance anxiety. Together we’ll work to identify the causes of your stage fears. With time and mindfulness, learn to embrace vulnerability and experience the unique joy of sharing your music with others.
facing impostor syndrome
Impostor syndrome of the most common psychological obstacles for musicians. An inability to internalize our successes creates the debilitating belief that we are a complete fraud compared to our musical peers. This inaccurate perception will profoundly negatively impact your creative abilities and I am eager to help you work past it.
building a practice routine
It’s not difficult to know what we should practice - school requirements, personal projects and gigs all dictate what music we pursue. But how do we practice to reach these goals? You will learn practice techniques and mindsets to learn music as efficiently and creatively as possible.
