No More Disappointing Performances

How To Play Your Best When It Really Matters

I'd be lying if I told you that there's one "simple trick" that will fix your broken performances overnight. But there are a few simple insights and exercises that will give you significant improvements very quickly.

I've tested lots of approaches over the last six years as I worked directly with hundreds of musicians. Now I've hand-picked the most effective strategies that you can implement quickly (without needing months of practice) and I'm giving you them for free in this Performance Mini Course.

The course draws on tools that the best in the world (mainly from elite sports) use to chase peak performance and explore the boundaries of what’s possible.


Inside the course you will learn:

  • A 7-step process to access your Ideal Performance State in just seconds. Play your best from the very first note
  • Why negative self-talk is probably sabotaging your playing and your enjoyment – and how to change this
  • Why you need to let go of the need for control in order to play at your full potential
  • How to make a huge leap forward with your music (without working on technique at all)
  • Why a performance with a couple of mistakes is usually better than one with no mistakes

I recommended Mark's teaching system to my students

I recommended Mark's teaching system to my students. I also recommend it to all younger and older musicians. The way essential learning material is presented and summarized is very clear, logical, and easy to follow.

Performance has gone from scary to exciting

I’d been performing for twenty years but suffered from nerves and never really performed at my best on stage. I’m now probably double the performer I once was. I know how to deal with my nerves. Even better than that, I can now pull out far better performances under pressure than I would in my practice room. Performance has gone from being something scary to something exciting!

I've seen a huge improvement in my enjoyment levels of playing and performing

I used to think that you're either musical or you're not. And that's something I always thought that I didn't have. But I discovered that you can work on that, and you can get better with practice. I've seen a huge improvement in my enjoyment levels of playing and performing, which is something I never thought I would ever be able to do.

I went from thinking I should be a better musician to believing I can be a better musician

One thing that impressed me about Mark’s approach is that it is based on scientific research into how the brain works. He teaches methods that are used by high performance athletes as well as world-class musicians to achieve their maximum potential. I went from thinking I should be a better musician to believing I can be a better musician. If I can do it, so can anyone. It’s never too late to change!

Hi, I’m Mark Morley-Fletcher – a jazz guitarist and educator who specializes in training the frequently overlooked skills and mindsets that are a huge part of rapid improvement and outstanding performances.

I’m particularly interested in how musicians can benefit from techniques used by peak performers in sport and other fields to perform more consistently and enjoyably. And I’ve helped over ten thousand musicians at all levels and across all instruments reach new heights through my courses on Performance Psychology and Effective Practice.

Shouldn't playing music be fun and fulfilling rather than a source of anxiety and frustration?
