    Hi Luis,

    I don’t think there’s one “correct” or “best” pre-performance routine – after all, when you look at athletes, there is quite a range in how pre-performance routines look. So if you feel pretty comfortable with the key elements that you described – like visual focus (quiet eye), breathing, releasing tension, and cueing up the sound/feel you’re going for – I think you’ll be just fine without the channeling energy part of the process..

    Some folks really connect with that step, but not everyone does, so feel free to go with what seems to work best for you!

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.
