Performance Coaching for Musicians
with Dr. Robert Szymanek PhD MISM
Find more calm, confidence and joy in your music.
Flourish in your practice and performance.
When We
Feel Good,
We Play Great!
When we cultivate wellbeing
at our instrument, that inner calm supercharges our capacity to think clearly, learn and practice more effectively, and play - yes - brilliant, expressive music.

"Your techniques and methods made piano enjoyable. You helped me find my passion again. I could barely play a bar without freaking out. Yet with your help I overcame this and so many struggles. I can now see a future in music."
