Music Performance Masterclass!

Learning Goals: Through participation in this class, students will learn:
1. How to present oneself with confidence and professionalism in front of an audience
2. How to manage general performance anxiety
3. How to build their technical skills with their chosen instrument 
4. How to build their artistic skills with their chosen instrument 
5. How to keep going when they’ve made a mistake or forgotten their music
6. How to be a supportive audience member through positive affirmation, attention, and body language
7. How to perform for both a camera and a live audience

I believe that practice, moderate guidance, and positive reinforcement prepare future performers for great success! As an active performer, I’ve personally attended hundreds of auditions and have picked up valuable insight into the performing process along the way. My Masters of Music degree in performance gave me the educational tools and experience as a teacher, masterclass adjudicator, and facilitator. I have even taken these principals to non-musicians in rehabilitation centers including a Brooks Rehabilitation in Florida, where I teach the value of clear voice use in one’s overall presentation of confidence and well being. 

Students who wish to perform will be asked to have their songs ready. Memorized pieces are preferred but not required.

Learner progress is primarily assessed by the instructor but will be clearly seen by all who participate for multiple classes in a row.

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
