About the Program
In this six week class, students work on building ease and awareness in order to increase their abilities as a player and performer. In addition, heightened awareness of one's body and its place in space will help to produce a fuller, freer sound, reduce physical tension and increase one's listening potential. With this template, students will become aware of their physical and mental habits and be able to start redirecting their thinking to change unwanted habits. In addition, developing these skills helps to limit the chance of physical injury and lessen performance anxiety.
