We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Performance Anxiety Security

 

"It went so much better in rehearsal."

What is it about the presence of an audience that can make performance so difficult? Is it possible to achieve consistency and security in performance, regardless of the circumstances? The answer is "Yes!" Confidence is not a function of personality, biology or external factors.

Pianist Pauline Martin presents a practical and reliable approach to performance security. Students and professionals alike have learned to identify and attack personal barriers to optimum performance. Through a systematic re-programming of practice objectives and habits, performers can unlock, and draw from, their own true potential, building a foundation of security and excellence.

"My performance of the Kabalevsky Cello Concerto last weekend was the best performance of my life! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your performance security techniques. I feel ready to move forward with confidence."

Irina Tikhonova, Principal Cellist
Dearborn Symphony Orchestra

"I am writing to let you know how much I enjoyed working with you last semester. The lecture you gave our chamber music class hit all the points I need to become a better performer."

Alexandra Tsilibes, Violinist
Graduate of SUNY, now in Wayne State
University Orchestral Studies Program

Ms. Tsilibes subsequently won the Concert-Master position of the Dearborn Symphony Orchestra.

"I’m so glad you were able to make your presentation to our teachers’ group. Several of our teachers have already requested a follow-up talk. Thank you for a stimulating and inspiring experience. We eagerly await your next presentation."

Clifford Wilkins, Vice-President
Oakland Piano Teachers’ Forum
