It's not about improving musicianship, it's about living your life better as a musician.
Ever felt your heart race before stepping onto a stage? Vanessa Cornett knows that feeling all too well. As the Director of Keyboard Studies and an Associate Professor of Music at the University of St. Thomas, she's dedicated her career to helping musicians conquer performance anxiety through mindfulness. In this episode of 'Wolf In Tune', Richard 'Wolfie' Wolf chats with Cornett about her unique approach to mental preparation for musicians.
Drawing from her experience as a hypnotherapist and certified meditation instructor, Cornett shares practical techniques to help musicians focus their minds and achieve peak performance. She challenges the notion that musical talent is purely innate, arguing instead that mental skills can be honed just like physical ones. Through exercises like mindful listening, where musicians tune into everyday sounds to appreciate their subtleties, Cornett demonstrates how mindfulness can deepen one's connection to music and the audience.
The episode also delves into the spiritual aspects of music education, highlighting how mindfulness can foster a sense of connectedness. Whether you're a seasoned performer or just starting out, Cornett's insights offer valuable tools for anyone looking to enhance their musical journey.
