Feel Good, Play Great.
Practice & Performance Coaching for Musicians
— with Rob Szymanek, PhD
Welcome!
I help musicians realise more of their potential, supporting their wellbeing, confidence, creativity and enjoyment in music-making.
Through one-to-one coaching, we can explore ways to:
Prepare effectively for performances, auditions and recordings.
Develop greater confidence in practice and performance.
Unlock creativity and personal expression.
Work with performance nerves, pressure and self-doubt.
Cultivate more enjoyment, motivation and fulfilment in music.
Develop effective and sustainable practice habits.
Understand and change patterns that might hold you back.

About Me
Passionate about helping musicians to
feel good and play great!
I aim to create a calm, understanding and supportive space for musicians to explore their practice, learn, grow, and realise more of their potential, drawing on 20 years of professional experience working in music, training in coaching and ideas from positive psychology.​
A Wellbeing-Centred Approach
Our wellbeing can influence how we learn, create and perform music.
When we feel supported, confident and engaged, we may find it easier to think clearly, express ourselves creatively, and experience more freedom and enjoyment in our music-making.
My coaching focuses on exploring what supports your wellbeing and musical development, and how you can cultivate these conditions in your own practice and performance.
