Performance Coaching with Daniel

Service Description

All of the work done in each coaching session is totally confidential and non-judgemental, with an interest in optimizing performance, not simply ridding clients of their ailments. All individuals are welcome in coachings, regardless of their age, gender, orientation, race, or economic or cultural background. I make a commitment to listen to individuals as patiently and unassuming as possible, in order to help understand them as well as possible. In each coaching session, done via Zoom, with or without the individual's instrument, clients gradually become aware of their physiological, cognitive, and behavioural responses to performing, helping them create a clear picture of the way their music performance anxiety manifests uniquely in their life. We also discuss contributing factors which may have led to their anxiety, especially in relation to their past instructors and personal attitudes to performing. After this has been done, we build individualized strategies for performing with increased confidence, awareness, and fluidity, both in and out of the practice room. We develop clear strategies to increase focus and flow during performance, to optimize players to reach their performance abilities as they envisioned them in the practice room, and to deal with themselves, their emotions, and others more adaptively and practically in the context of their wider personal and professional life.
