  • Learn how to express your emotions, convey your ideas, and move an audience through music

  • Grow your musical literacy and creativity

Technique

We will address:

  • Fundamental skills: “nuts and bolts” (they’re what hold your playing together!)

  • Scales, interval studies, quality tones, flexibility studies, and more!

  • Healthy posture and injury prevention

The Mental Game

Mental resilience - a musician’s greatest asset! Learning an instrument requires a great deal of thought and patience.

Together we will:

  • Grow your confidence in performance

  • Improve mental stamina

  • “Hack” your practice by exploring the neuroscience of efficient learning, practicing, and performing under pressure

These are skills applicable everywhere in your life- not just on the horn!
