MUS 397 The Musician's Toolkit

This course offers tools to alleviate the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of MPA (Musicians’ Performance Anxiety) and helps address issues such as negative self-talk, memory slips, and effective practicing. Based on the work of leading experts, such as Dr. Don Greene (Fight Fear and Win) and Dr. Elaine Aron (The Highly Sensitive Person and The Undervalued Self), and concepts such as Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow, Fogg’s Tiny Habits, and Allen’s Getting Things Done, the course explores how better organization, preparedness, self-awareness, and emotional connection to music can assist with the pressure of live performance while also creating opportunities to more fully enjoy the performance experience.
