    Hi Mike,
    Yes, it’s funny how differently we can respond in different performance domains. It’s as if our minds do some quick calculations of probability, and try to decide whether our resources/abilities will meet the perceived demands of the situation. If chances are good, then we don’t get too nervous. If the probability is lower, we get proportionately more anxious.

    I’ll bet though, that you are doing specific things or utilizing specific strategies in your professional life that enable you to present with confidence, which could also be applied to your guitar performances…

There's an LIVE component too! (for educators)

If you’d like to explore some of the most essential skills and techniques in the course live, with a cohort of curious, thoughtful, supportive, and like-minded educators (and a few mildly irreverent or benevolently sarcastic folks mixed in to make sure we don’t get too serious), that’s also an option!

Starting Thursday, February 3rd, we’ll meet via Zoom once a week, and go through selected strategies related to effective practice, managing nerves, and achieving flow states under pressure. We’ll do some in-class playing experiments (don’t worry – you’ll be muted!), short weekly homework assignments, and small-group breakout sessions to help you integrate these new skills into your teaching.

This 6-week live course is normally $199, but is available at 50% off the regular cost when bundled with Beyond Practicing. For more details about the live course (and dates) CLICK HERE.
