Whether a student comes to me for relief and healing from pain or physical discomfort; performance nerves or self-doubt; scattered or negative thinking; frustration with slow progress or career dissatisfaction…

…or they simply want to learn the key to effortless mastery and experience dramatic improvement in their musical practice and performance skills…

…the three developmental stages of The Art of Freedom® Method for conscious living and masterful artistry are the natural progression to get from struggling to brilliant!

Are you curious about what my students actually learn? I take musicians in my private and group coaching programs through all three stages of artistic development, as described here. Here's what you'd learn over six months as my private coaching client (I also offer shorter programs):

1. Self-Ease
Learn a simple daily practice to instantly calm your mind, relax your body, and bring more balance, ease and confidence to your music and your life with Daily Awareness etudes and other simple practices for whole-self integration

2. Musical Integration
Bring your whole, best self to your instrument so you can play with effortless ease, share your music with confidence, and consistently love the sound you make

3. Artistic Transformation
Dramatically improve your technical skills and creative artistry with cutting-edge practice and performance strategies that allow you to reliably access a flow state for maximum ease and freedom of expression

In each stage of development, we work on integrating the Five Life-Pillars of The Art of Freedom®: Purpose, Mind, Body, Spirit, and Artistry.

I'm so thrilled to be starting off a new cohort of 21+ women in my 5-week introductory program beginning this weekend: Relaxed Confidence, Joy, and Authentic Self-Expression for Women in Music!

These lucky women will move through the first stage of development and pick up powerful, practical tools to become more at ease with themselves in everyday life and how they relate to music.

You can't REALLY improve your musical skills without improving how you think, move, and feel the music; and you can't REALLY change that on a fundamental level (in a way that sticks over time) if you're not improving how you think, move, and feel in your everday LIFE as a whole. In mind, body, and spirit.

Improving your musical skills is not just about moving your fingers faster, placing them more accurately on the strings, playing in tune, having smoother bow changes, or creating a better sound.

Improving your musical skills is about self-observation, enhancing your capacity for conscious awareness, and improving your mind-body-spirit coordination on a basic level. And your overall coordination is something you're using (and practicing – whether you know it or not) ALL DAY LONG. For better or for worse; for increasing EASE or increasing DIS-EASE or tension.

In my programs, we uncover the hidden habits that take you out of your natural state of effortless of being, which block your freedom of movement and self-expression, and you learn how to become more relaxed, confident, and intentional about creating what you actually want instead.

When you can move through everyday life with more conscious awareness, clarity of intention, flexibility, resilience, responsiveness, and FLOW… then you'll be able to apply that to your instrument for more effortlessness, relaxed confidence, improved skills and JOY without even trying.

Focus on improving YOU – your Primary Instrument – and the quality of your actions will automatically improve – in every area of your life, including how you make music.

Improvement is INEVITABLE when you focus on the SOURCE of your music-making – the process instead of the results.

This is what we do in my private and group coaching programs, and it's exactly what these lucky and self-empowering women are going to be working on over the next five weeks.

Are you getting curious about how The Art of Freedom® could help YOU improve your everyday life and the quality of your music – all at once?

So you can feel more confident, relaxed, joyful, and successful as a musician in every way?

Send me a message today and tell me a bit about yourself as a musician and what you're working on. I'd love to have a chat with you about possibilities!

With Love & Joy,
