Hi. I’m Madeline Bruser, author of The Art of Practicing, and creator of the Performing Beyond Fear exercise. If you’re an aspiring or professional pianist, you’re probably familiar with issues like muscle tension, self-doubt, or performance anxiety. And you may have tried different approaches to solving these problems: changing your piano technique, practicing more hours, giving yourself pep talks, or taking pills before going onstage.

Yet despite everything you’ve tried, you haven’t gotten the results you want. You might even be wondering if you have what it takes to become the pianist you want to be.

The Art of Practicing offers an alternative to traditional approaches to practice and performance. It brings to light long-standing mental and physical habits that have created unnecessary tension and frustration, and it provides you with a new set of skills to get past these habits, so that you can discover the natural ease and brilliance you’re capable of.

Supported by neuroscience and evidence based outcomes, this approach goes to the root of physical, mental, and musical problems, bringing real physical and expressive freedom.

I offer both in-person and online lessons and teach internationally. If you’d like to set up a free consultation, please click the button below.
