A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO MUSICAL GROWTH

Do you long to fully express yourself and open your talent to the world? To allow your potential to shine luminously and heal yourself in the process?

This work is about understanding yourself as a musician. Performing with absolute freedom comes from deeply attuning to yourself and your experience of the music, as you practise, perform and create. I help you to find this for yourself, and take home the tools for the future.

I understand that your mind-body connection is natural. It’s the natural result of feeling free to be who you are; children have it without even knowing it. It never really goes away - it’s just a matter of:

  • Understanding whatever is in your way

  • Letting go into a space of presence and inner connection.

This is what Attunement Performance Coaching is all about.

“Anna showed me that when you get out of your own way, and stop thinking of how to please others, and are true to yourself...that is when the magic happens.”   Lathika Vithanage, violinist

Through personalised attunement sessions, I help you:

  • Reconnect with your natural musical instincts

  • Quiet the inner critic by understanding where it’s coming from, and knowing how to move beyond it

  • Feel grounded and present when you perform

  • Express your creativity with confidence, freedom and joy

HOW IT WORKS

Simple, supportive, and deeply personal

  1. We explore where you are
    Your patterns, challenges, and experiences as a musician

  2. We work with what’s underneath
    Performance anxiety, self-doubt, and internal pressure

  3. You reconnect with your authentic voice
    So performing feels natural, expressive, and alive

    Sessions are in-person or on Zoom, and can range from a single session to ongoing support.

Attunement - the doorway to your potential

Every state that we experience is a doorway to our incredible inner intelligence.  My experience, training and spirituality have consistently and unconditionally shown that we are complete and infinite beings.   We are capable of solving and unravelling our blocks, revealing our true qualities beneath – as long as we have the tools to navigate our inner world. 

For instance, when I experience “the fog” – a state that feels hazy, murky and undisciplined, I feel into this state.  Instead of fighting “the fog”, and trying to get clear, I let it be there and wonder with curiosity what its purpose is.  After a while, it reveals itself as a state of softness and love.  I realize that this is part of my nature – a part that wants to show itself.  Until I accept it for what it is, “the fog” will keep appearing to plague me.  Presence, self-acceptance, curiosity and non-judgment are the keys to Attunement – to being present during our music-making and daily lives.  The softness and love being revealed will lead me into the next unfoldment, because it is a strong and stable basis for my life. 

Performance anxiety, and other emotional and physical blocks, always contain a misunderstanding and denial of some part of the self.  The pressure to hide parts of ourselves – that we learned to suppress in childhood - and at the same time to show how “good” we are, manifests in emotional and physical symptoms.   The most direct way to heal them is to turn inward, and be present to our thoughts and how those thoughts are expressed in the body.  Accepting the self and what is being revealed to us frees us to make music joyfully, freely and peacefully.  It also opens up new worlds of possibility, as energy is freed up to be more creative, confident and courageous.

It is my joy to help musicians in this process, to show you how to be self-aware and give you the tools for a deeper understanding of your musical journey, talents and purpose.
