My Music Practice and Performance Philosophy – a work in progress, literally and figuratively

One of the realms in life that has long-fascinated me and attracted me is the Athletic World for its physicality and for it’s mindset – specifically – the training and practice mindset. Music still feels, to me, like it’s approach to practice and preparation is stuck in centuries gone by. But really…has there ever really been professional mindset and performance coaches for musicians past a random book or article here and there? And I use those terms In their scientific and psychological definitions. My answer: No. I believe there is a space and a need for it.

Join me, follow me, as I tease out my own thoughts in the performance practice realm, blending sports psychology into musician mindset. It’s changed my world. Maybe it will change yours too.
