Help with stage fright and anxiety for all string players

A course to help you play & perform from the heart.

All the talent, all the teaching, all the books, self help tapes and videos won't count for anything if doubt and fear enter your mind before a performance.  Alcohol and beta blockers can end up being the staple diet of the nervous musician, actor or public speaker.

Sue Aston the violinist and composer knows all about stage fright and the damage it can do.  'Stage fright is one of the commonest and most natural problems of being a performer.    This could arise either before or during a concert or in an exam situation. I have suffered from severe nerves and stage fright myself, so I understand how awful fellow performers and pupils feel.'

We have developed techniques that are unique in helping musicians control and combat stage fright and performance anxiety.  The combination of Phil & Sue Aston's background in the performing arts and mind and body techniques means you will be getting practical advice that really works.

The teachers

Sue Aston has appeared on professional classical recordings, radio broadcasts, and television, both nationally and internationally, and worked with eminent musicians such as Simon Rattle, Nigel Kennedy, Peter Donohoe, Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Charles Groves, and Esa Pekka Salonen.  She is a Reiki practitioner and has been practicing mind body techniques such as Yoga & Karate for over 10 years.

Phil Aston founder of 'Yoga at Work' is also a musician and experienced public speaker. 

As a marketing director he was no stranger to the anxiety that can come from public speaking or preparing for that show case gig.  He has segued his yoga background into this subject resulting in a program that can be tailored for each individual.

Phil writes regularly for USP magazine
