Practice Methodology is a pioneering, all-inclusive attention training for music performers, which has been a success in 17 countries up to date. It aims to boost core skills of musical attention to achieve full expressiveness and precision efficiently, securely, and effortlessly. The uniquely powerful mental ‘toolkit’ provided by the training can be used with considerable success by instrumentalists, singers, chamber groups, choirs, and orchestras alike. It enables the musician to be totally immersed in the moment while performing, to be emotionally deeply engaged with music with full concentration, to keep time with ease, to take expressive risks and to efficiently deal with mistakes during performance. Among the most important further benefits of the short individual training sessions are the following: it enables a considerable reduction of practice time and an appreciable decrease in stage fright, and it opens the way to the performer’s feeling of authenticity, freedom, and ‘ownership’ over the music.
