The Bulletproof Musician Workshop with Noa Kageyama, performance psychologist

A Workshop for Music Students

Saturday, October 3, 2026

1:30pm-3:30pm

Barbara E. Field Recital Hall

Third Street Music School

Elite athletes and coaches have known for decades that physical preparation alone is not enough to perform optimally under pressure. And increasingly, musicians too are engaging in mental skills training and ways of practicing and preparing, in ways of practicing and preparing that which can lead to more consistent, inspired, and engaged performances.
In this session, you’ll find out what common practice habit leads to “but it sounded better at home” syndrome (and the more effective alternative), discover the two causes of “choking” under pressure (and a simple strategy to prevent this from happening), and learn a “backwards” method for structuring your daily practice that leads to more consistent and confident performances.

Free and open to student musicians, ages 12-18; younger students can attend with their parents.

REMEMBER:

Bring your instrument and about 20 seconds of music to play (nobody will have to play on their own; everyone will play together)
