Do you long to share your playing with others, but avoid doing so because you’re worried that you won’t enjoy the experience due to fear? Or do you feel that your pieces are secure when practising only to find they fall apart in front of others?
Adina Mornell’s course draws on the latest discoveries in psychology and performance science to help you develop your own recipe for rewarding performances. Through a series of workshops, you will collect tools for enjoyable practice, confident performance and adopting the mindset required to become your own best friend as a musician.
Each of the workshops will be followed up by assignments that allow you to experiment – and have fun – with the learned material. You’ll discover innovative learning methods and learn how to employ new and individualised strategies that recognise and build on your strengths!
“I Played It Better at Home!” – This introductory presentation delves into the reasons for the discrepancy between results in the practice room and performance. Click here to find out more.
Part 1
The first part explores how how experts train and learn from “near misses” and errors to constantly improve. Their working habits give clues to ways musicians can be methodically in their preparation, making sure that learned music is more secure in hand and heart, and reliable in performance.

Part 2
The second part course builds on the knowledge about how the brain works, ways music can be learnt and memory strengthened and applies it to optimise your practising. In a set of three workshops you will learn how to tweak your practice strategies for more enjoyable, rewarding sessions and long-lasting success. Click here for more information.
Part 3
The last part goes on to capitalise on positive emotions and effective practice methods showing you how to include them in special exercises that prepare you for performance – whether for a self-made video, a small audience of friends, or a public auditorium.
Once you’ve incorporated mental, physical and emotional elements into your piano practice time and established your own performance rituals, you’ll have created a recipe for success that will allow you to share your music with others!
The first workshop will take place on Wednesday 21st May and focusses on turning your practice room into your own “stage” to enable you to work on feeling comfortable in a performance setting. Click here to find out more.
