Fearless Audition Training for Hornists

July 31-August 4, 2008

Fearlessness is a concept fundamentally based in a trust of all things, present and future. Jeff believes we all basked in this trusting state of mind as children and that we can train ourselves, as adults, to reclaim this trust and bring it with us into any performance situation.

Approaching performing with a fearless state of mind optimizes our potential for success at elevating the musical experience for us, our audiences, and our audition panels too! It must be mentioned that this mental work does not replace practicing the physical aspects of music making. Ultimate success comes from the combination of creative, diligent practice of both our physical and mental skills.

Choose music over fear!

Participants and Auditors must be over 18.

Fearless Audition Training for Hornists is open to professionals, students, and teachers interested in becoming fearless performers. 

During this the six day seminar, participants will learn ‘fearless tools’ which build consistency in performing optimally in any situation.  Training will take place in the environment that holds the most potential for a fearful experience – an audition!
 

Extensive preparation and performance experience in an audition setting will be the focus of the seminar.   Frequent mock auditions will include pre-performance coaching, videotaping of participant’s auditions, and post-performance critiques…followed by more mock auditions.

Jeff will share his fearless auditioning techniques throughout the seminar in lecture, master class and private lesson settings.
