Have you ever wondered why you can play at a high level when you're practicing alone at home, but as soon as you play in front of other people, your hands start shaking, your heart starts racing, and everything begins to fall apart?

If you have ever felt crippled by anxiety, this four-module course is your first step to developing the psychological skills that will help you perform at your best under pressure.

Created by Juilliard’s Dr. Noa Kageyama, whose performance psychology classes are a favorite among Juilliard music students, the course combines applied exercises, insights gleaned from interviews with renowned performers, and research in performance psychology and motor learning.

You will learn how to overcome your fears around performing in front of an audience and discover how universal the experience of performance anxiety is amongst musicians at all levels – from beginner to professional.

The three psychological skills covered in this course are:

Practice that Sticks;
Beating Anxiety;
Getting (and Staying) in the Zone.

Why peak performances are not random chance occurrences, but the result of a specific kind of practice, and the utilization of a combination of mental skills
That performance anxiety is something nearly all performers experience - but that it need not be debilitative, as there are ways to overcome fears about performing by changing one’s approach to practicing
The key difference between two essential and complementary types of practice
How to apply theoretical knowledge of performance psychology to actionable exercises that will enable you to experience the difference mental skills training makes when performing in high-pressure situations
