Be Awesome and Nice to Yourself
You're here because you know there's a better way to practice and perform.
I've been there too and understand every step:
As a motivated student trying to absorb everything my teacher said, preparing festival and school auditions, stressed out about my senior recital, and wondering about my future.
Recovering from injury and burnout, I had to relearn to play and come back from zero - twice.
I know what it's like to be out of school without a regular support network, preparing auditions between gigs and teaching, and juggling a demanding playing career with life that just keeps getting in the way.
I know what it's like to have great students (and difficult students) - and want to set them up to become the best musician, teacher, and performer they want to be.
I know what it's like to strive for artistic excellence, work/life balance, and paying my bills - just like you.
My 20+ years of teaching, sports coaching, research, and performing brought me SPARK Practice and the Intentional Practice System - now I finally love being on stage again and actually look forward to practicing, playing, and performing. I want that for you too.
Let's work together to support you, your students, or your school to learn faster with neurologically-accelerated practice boosts, cultivate supportive, confident mindsets, and accelerate consistently awesome performances.
