Pedal steel guitarist – playing in bands alongside working a full-time job. He’d lost the joy that he used to get from playing gigs… but was able to find it again when he started working on his inner game.

Drummer and teacher whose love of music was spoiled by intense self-criticism when he performed for others. Working on his limiting beliefs freed him up to get a whole lot more joy from playing music.

Amateur folk musician playing mountain dulcimer and violin. She gave up playing in public after a failure caused by nerves… but she did the work to overcome this and enjoy performing again.

Jazz saxophonist who was frustrated by inconsistent performances. Simply doing more technical practice didn't help, but he found that training his mind allowed him to stop fighting himself and play the music he'd been dreaming of.

Operatic tenor whose confidence had been shattered by a serious memory slip in a past performance. He rebuilt his self-belief and returned to the same venue to overwrite the old memories of failure.

Guitar teacher and occasional performer. He pushed past performance nerves and doubts about his musical ability and went on to play his first solo concert.

Jazz and blues guitarist – playing regular gigs. He was happy with how he played in practice but never managed to hit the same levels in performance… until he started deliberately training his mind.
