Physical Integration & Well Being Of Musicians
A seven-session experiential seminar

Peak performance depends upon practice and mastery of your instrument, but also upon the integration of movement patterns in the body as a whole.



 

Many students neglect this critical aspect of their development, leaving highly significant levels of potential untapped, and risking unnecessary injury.

This intimate workshop brings wholistic focus to:

• Evaluation of tension and movement at key body parts - neck, shoulders, spine, hips, feet

• Physical poising - in gravity and with your instrument

• richer sound and moving from the core for speed, flow

• Optimal brain states for both performance and learning

• Lifestyle choices to optimize performance and well-being”

State Changers: the activation of superlearning and peak performance

Our bodies and brains are surprisingly endowed with unused potential and dormant ability.  The current revolution in neuroscience is now trickling down into many groundbreaking treatments and strategies for helping human beings function at higher levels of performance, wake up learning potential and re-fashion ingrained habits.  This short, interactive talk will tap this advancing scientific frontier to demonstrate 10 ways to activate higher potential in a minute or less, and how to build practices to make the changes permanent.
