This new kind of performance experience for trained music students is designed to apply tools from The Performing Mind™ seminar to improve not only the student's performances, but also to improve the quality of their experience of their performances as well, and lead them toward being able to take full responsibility for their own preparation, training, evaluation, and improvement.

The students present a performance, then have a class session where we discuss the goals and objectives they had, and try to discover the assumed (unconscious) goals they had for their performance. Then they refine their goals and make them much more specific and testable. The students practice the new preparation techniques that will have been demonstrated and discussed, and students are encouraged to add guided imagery to their preparation.

Special attention will be given to dealing with stage fright and stress, especially for auditions.

Later (one or two days, or even later that day), the performance is presented again. Afterward, a class session is held where they evaluate their performance against their goals and objectives.

The instructor is Michael Kysar, although involving a local master performer/teacher will extend the benefits long after the initial Master Class. For details on Michael, see his Biography.
