The Psychological Skills of Top Performers
Discover how performing changes when you develop all seven

Or had a piece completely memorized, played it through countless times in rehearsals with no problems, and then suddenly went blank in the middle of a competition?
Or spent an hour meticulously working on a passage, only to discover the next day that it’s still just as hit or miss as the day before?
Confused and frustrated…
Hi, my name is Dr. Noa Kageyama. I’m a sport and performance psychologist and am on the faculty of The Juilliard School. But 15 years ago, I was a frustrated conservatory student and haunted by questions like the ones above. I knew I had talent. And I knew all about discipline, sacrifice, and what it took to be successful.
But despite my best efforts, I struggled with inconsistency and was exasperated by how often my playing fell short of what I knew I was capable of. My hands would get cold, clammy, and tight. I’d feel my heart pounding in my chest, my mind would start racing, and I wouldn’t be able to remember how the second line of the piece was supposed to go. And that was before I even walked out on stage!
I knew none of this was my teachers’ fault. I was lucky to have studied with many truly great teachers; a list which includes Stephen Clapp, Ronald Copes, Franco Gulli, Paul Kantor, Masao Kawasaki, Roland & Almita Vamos, and Donald Weilerstein. I could not have asked for a better or more complete musical training. Yet, I knew something was missing – I just didn’t know what.
Finally, some answers!
Then I went to Juilliard, and on a whim, signed up for a course titled “Performance Enhancement for Musicians” taught by Dr. Don Greene. It sounded interesting, although I was pretty skeptical that an Olympic sport psychologist and former green beret could teach me anything about being a concert artist.
To my surprise, what I learned that semester changed not only how I performed, but how I felt about performing. My whole approach shifted. Even my practice habits changed dramatically. Performances were no longer fraught with such uncertainty. I was having some of the best performances of my life, and playing at a high level consistently too. It felt great.
But more than anything, I loved the feeling of knowing that I had finally figured it out. For once in my life, I knew exactly what I had to do to perform up to my potential on stage. And as you might imagine, I was hooked. Sport psychology opened up a whole new world of skills to learn, skills that were helping me become a more compelling musician and performer, but which I had never learned. I couldn’t believe that this wasn’t public knowledge. How could more people not know about these principles and techniques? I wanted to learn more, and after finishing my masters at Juilliard, I went to Indiana University to pursue a doctorate in psychology.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=”yes” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1/1″ column_width_pixel=”800″][vc_column_text]
Introducing Beyond Practicing
(2nd edition)
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Beyond Practicing is everything I wish I would have known 25 years ago, organized as a 7-module online home-study course that represents a step-by-step walkthrough of the key psychological skills that sport psychologists have been teaching elite athletes for years.
The course covers the essential concepts from the sport and performance psychology literature, and with the specific demands of a performing musician in mind, shows you exactly how to develop the ability to overcome nerves, the critic in your head, memory slips, distractions of all kinds, and play your best when the pressure is on.
It’s very similar to the classes I teach at Juilliard – except you can proceed at your own pace, on your own schedule. If you’ve been interested in performance coaching, but found it difficult to schedule, work out the logistics, or too much of a financial investment, this home-study course might offer what you’re looking for.

Skill #1 | Energy Regulation
How to Regulate Your Stress Response
Many musicians are plagued by nerves, doubts, and fears in the hours, days, sometimes weeks before performances. Most have never learned how to regulate their body’s built-in fight-or-flight response, never mind how to use this energy to their advantage. You’ll learn a 7-step pre-performance routine called Centering, that will help you take the edge off your nerves and start every performance on the right foot. After all, a great first impression can really be a big help in big auditions or competitions when time is short.

Skill #2 | Preparation
How to Practice (More) Effectively
Practicing can be frustrating, and there’s nothing worse than putting in the hours and failing to see results. Rest assured, it doesn’t always have to be this way. There is indeed a “right” way to practice and a “wrong” way, when it comes to making progress and building confidence in your playing. You’ll learn how to accelerate your progress with “practice sprints,” problem solving models, and more. And you’ll also learn three different ways to memorize music, that are way more effective (and permanent) than merely repeating the same thing over and over.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Skill #3 | Confidence
How to Build Confidence (without lying to yourself)
Confidence is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important ingredients for success. But many assume that confidence is either something you’re born with, or is largely out of our control. Successful musicians take confidence into their own hands, and you’ll learn how to do the same. You’ll learn a 3-step process for silencing the inner critic who sabotages your confidence without having to rely on overly-cheery affirmations (“just stay positive!”) or lower your standards.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Skill #4 | Courage
How to Play Fearlessly and Develop Trust in Your Abilities
A close relative of confidence, courage is probably the single most important skill when it comes to making the most of our talents and realizing our full potential – not just on-stage, but off-stage as well. The bold captivating performances and the career success you achieve are all proportional to the amount of courage you have built up – and the degree to which you can trust yourself in high-stakes situations. It’s really difficult to play up to our abilities if we are constantly second guessing ourselves or seeing ourselves screw up before we even get to the tricky passage coming up. You’ll learn how to systematically develop more trust in your abilities and push the edges of your ability.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Skill #5 | Concentration
How to Quiet the Critic in Your Head
Most would agree that concentration is important, but not many have learned how to practice and strengthen it. If your thoughts start racing when you are nervous, or your mind goes blank (and not in a good way), you’ll learn how to get into that specific mental state which is more conducive to performing “in the zone.” This is one of the keys to rediscovering how to actually enjoy performing (and even auditioning) again.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Skill #6 | Focus
How to Develop Ironclad Attentional Control
You’ve probably been told that if you just “focus on the music,” things will be just fine. Of course, that’s much easier said than done (and what does that even mean, anyway?). The performance literature suggests that our ability to stay focused only on those things that are relevant to what we are doing at that moment is the overarching key to great performances. But most of us have never learned how to do this, or what specifically to think about. In this lesson, you’ll learn techniques and principles which will enable you to keep your attention focused where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.

Skill #7 | Resilience
How to Cut Down on Mistakes and Bounce Back Without Missing a Beat
Some mistakes are inevitable, but many of the ones you make under pressure are not. That’s because everyone has a specific “oops” reflex that tends to cause more mistakes (which then cause more mistakes, and so on). There’s a tendency to dwell on mistakes and imperfections, but that interrupts our focus and takes us out of the moment. And this increases the likelihood of our making another mistake, and then another, and so on, unless we learn how to move past these mistakes quickly. You’ll learn a 5-step recovery sequence that will enable you to stay poised and focused in even the most difficult situations – and make sure that mistakes don’t ruin what might otherwise have been a great performance.

The Performance Skills Inventory
One of the biggest hurdles we face is not knowing why our performances degrade under pressure. What is actually responsible for our less than stellar performances? Is it purely anxiety-related? Or a lack of confidence? Concentration issues? Focus issues? Insufficient mental toughness?
We could go in circles for years, trying to identify the problem and appropriate solutions with a trial and error approach. That’s why the course starts with a mental skills assessment to identify where you’re at, and what needs work.
Beyond Practicing includes access to the Performance Skills Inventory. This 84-question mental skills assessment is the product of 15 years of research on thousands of performing artists by sport psychologist Dr. Don Greene, and will show you exactly what has been holding you back from more consistent and compelling performances.

Workbooks
(in printable PDF format)
Once you have identified your mental strengths and weaknesses, you’ll dive into the skill-building lessons and begin learning how to develop the key performance skills highlighted by your PSI results. Each lesson provides a bit of conceptual background on how each skill is related to peak performance, and then simple, straightforward guidance on how to develop that skill.
Altogether, there are 250+ pages of performance psychology training with examples, exercises, and strategies that you can use immediately. But don’t worry – it’s not a brain dump of research findings, or abstract theory, but a structured, organized, action-based approach to help you learn how to keep from freezing up when you walk on stage. I know you’re busy and don’t have time to wade through needless information, so I’ve done the work of distilling decades of performance psychology research into concise and to-the-point lessons – all the information you need without the extraneous “filler.”
And if you’re a details kind of person, you’ll find links to supplemental content and book recommendations for further skill development.
To help you stay on track and more easily incorporate the exercises and drills into your practice, each lesson also includes step-by-step checklists and worksheets which will help you keep tabs on your progress.

I just wanted to share some good news; I won an audition for an orchestra last Saturday, and a lot of my preparation had to do with your course.
In the past, I think my performances were a bit ‘hit or miss’ and it was difficult to understand what in my preparation was working and what wasn’t. I used to go into a performance hoping I wouldn’t get nervous, and trying to figure out how to play well despite the stress of the situation. Interestingly, now I actually look forward to ‘getting nervous’ because it has the potential to really enhance my performance in a good way.
I had done other similar courses/coachings in the past and didn’t always get good results, so that (plus the cost of the course) was a concern. Now, however, my preparation has become much more thorough and organised, and I really make a huge commitment to mental training and incorporating it into my practise and preparation. Performing is a lot more exciting now and I’ve experienced much better results both in how I feel about performances, and also in the actual outcomes.
Anyway, thank you again so much, and I really appreciate your work with the course. It’s a huge help to many people, and I really think it gave me an edge![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image media=”25478″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” alignment=”center” shape=”img-circle” media_width_pixel=”100″][vc_column_text]

I’ve been a gigging and performing pianist and vocal coach for about a dozen years. About 3 years ago I developed a very serious case of performance anxiety. Overwhelming nerves at the prospect of playing in front of people, even for simple music that I’ve performed many times before. I became OCD during a performance – needing to check my music every 5 seconds to make sure it was in order. Feeling like I couldn’t breath. Sweaty hands. Tunnel vision. Absolute panic. Shaking like a leaf.
After deciding that I wouldn’t quit the music world and instead seek help, I came across your website. I read your articles for many months while thinking about taking your online course. I had never taken an online course before and wasn’t sure how I would respond. Would I follow through? Would I like doing it on my own? Would it end up being a waste of money and untouched in my email?
The performance anxiety wasn’t getting better on its own, and frankly, therapy is much more expensive than the investment of Beyond Practicing. So I decided to commit and really go for it.
First lesson on Energy Regulation and the Centering exercise single-handedly saved my performing career. I practiced it diligently and started playing better than ever before. Using the Centering technique to target my most challenging areas, I was so delighted to absolutely nail those spots in performance. While my nerves didn’t go away, they became much more manageable. And I was playing so much more consistently.
Beyond that first lesson, I discovered a real passion and interest for how the brain and body respond under pressure. You’ve culled through all the current research and pulled the most useful and important information and made it user friendly. Practical exercises, engaging videos, useful information.
I would absolutely recommend your course to anyone who wants to improve practice skills, increase focus, and develop more consistency while under pressure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image media=”10299″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” alignment=”center” shape=”img-circle” media_width_pixel=”100″][vc_column_text]

I’ve been reading your blog for about a year, and finally bought the course two months ago. The course is well laid-out, and once I started, I immediately felt hope. Your description of what happens physically, mentally, and emotionally gave me the sense that I’m not crazy, and reinforced the hunch I’d had that my problems were mental in nature, rather than instrumental.
Most impressive about the course is the individual attention, the personalized insights and support you provided as I prepared for two auditions. After just two months of practicing some of the skills laid out in the course, I played the best I’ve ever played in an audition. I look forward to continuing on this journey and discovering my true artistry.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image media=”10456″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” alignment=”center” shape=”img-circle” media_width_pixel=”100″][vc_column_text]

Your piece on practicing immediately rang true for me. Why had all these years passed, with thousands of hours of practice, and I was still, more than I like to admit, hit or miss in performance?
I immediately started deliberate practice. Full and total concentration on everything I was doing during my practice. The results were almost instant. I performed the first violin part for Shostakovitch piano quintet a week later. Many of my colleagues approached me afterwards and said I sounded like a completely different performer. They asked what I was doing.
A month later I played a recital. Some of the violin guys I had been at Juilliard with who seem to be able to play everything, anytime, really well, and a world renowned violinist were there. They were all back stage before the performance to say hi. This used to be enough to reduce me to jelly, and my performance would suffer because of it.
But with my new way of practicing, I walked on completely confidant, did not feel an ounce of fear, and performed the best I have ever performed in my life. I knew EXACTLY what I was doing, what I wanted, and it all happened the way I planned. I walked off stage for the first time in my life absolutely satisfied with what I had done, and made no excuses. Again, many of the persons I had been close friends with, but always slightly envious of their comfort and ease on the violin, came to me after the performance and asked me what I was doing differently, adding that they had never heard me perform so well.
Thanks Dr. Kageyama, I wish you had been at Juilliard when I was there!

I believe that your course and response to my question (about what to think about when you perform) really did help me to give successful auditions. For several months prior to the auditions, I would become so nervous before each performance, particularly if there was anything at stake. However, I am so much more confident now! I can let my mind be free and just hear the sound of my instrument.
Additionally, and not to be dramatic, I gave the greatest performance of my life since our last exchange! I was definitely in the “flow” state, as you mentioned in your course. It was truly a phenomenal moment that I don’t think I will ever forget.

Parent of “Madison”

“Madison” has always been a confident, intelligent, and creative kid. She has both musicality and technicality in her playing, however I noticed that nerves were getting in her way starting from 11 years old.
She would get tiny memory slips which would cause nervousness, embarrassment, and result in a negative association with performance. It became difficult to sleep the night before, and she would experience cold hands, heart palpitations, etc. Sometimes her playing was clean and sometimes not…it was totally unpredictable, and made me nervous watching her.
I was frustrated, thinking what good is it when she puts so much time honing her craft when she is unable to perform her best on the stage!!
I’ve always had an interest in psychology, so when we found out about your course, Madison was concerned that you may go over things she already knows, as she has already studied some of the books and DVD’s related to peak performance, performance anxiety, and memory. Plus, most online products overpromise and underdeliver.
But I felt very sorry for Madison as she works so hard, so after studying the website and reading some of the articles, we thought it was worth a try.
I wanted to let you know that Madison recently won a competition, and says that your program helped her play more consistently. Your program is unique in that it addresses her unique problems and it can be reviewed over and over and continue to improve her performance skills. It helps her preparedness, focus, and memory, thus eliminating fear. She still has some anxiety response, which is good to some degree, and she can control it for her benefit.
Thank you so much – I don’t want the cost of the course to be an issue for others to not enroll, so it has to be reasonable, but OMG, it’s worth every penny![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-prif” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMG5hbWUlM0QlMjJzaWdudXAlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZhJTNF[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]
