Performance and Communication Skills Workshops for Musicians
Learn to:
1.Relate to your audience from your authentic self
2.Adapt your program concert for different audiences
3. Engage audience participation
What do I do? I help musicians who are struggling to communicate on stage to trust their own authenticity while building bridges with their audience. I teach them tools and strategies to be at ease in all aspects of their performance, so that they can offer vibrant, joyful concerts for any audience with self-confidence and true delight.
The problem I want to solve: Communicating on stage with your instrument is one thing. Communicating verbally with the audience about the music presents a completely different challenge. You might even be terrified with the idea of talking to the public. You’re not alone: when asked to present concerts in the community for children or seniors, many musicians feel at a loss for words, and don’t know how to use their voice, let alone a microphone.
The solution I propose: We will explore transferring musical skills into communication skills by:
- learning to trust your own authenticity
- being fully present on stage with the audience
- adapting your program to meet the particular needs of the public in front of you
- being ready to receive (being ready to both give and receive on stage)
- accepting, instead of expecting, the unexpected
- finding ways to engage audience participation.
