Just like you, being a musician is what gets me up in the morning.

I love playing and performing - sharing the stage with amazing friends and colleagues, connecting with audiences, and making music.

...But even on big fancy stages and studying with famous teachers, sometimes I felt lost, confused, and alone! I couldn't seem to get my brain, body, and music all on the same page, no matter how many hours I practiced or crazy and toxic performance techniques I tried.

Just like my friends and mentors, I knew I was capable of more than was coming across on stage - but we were slowed down by what I now know is performance anxiety and inefficient practice. So much effort for such little progress (and very little joy)... I almost gave up playing forever from burnout, injury, and epic frustration. Then, finally, came a spark of something better.

Deep down, I knew there was a better way to practice and prepare performances. I strategically built up brave resilience, cultivated artistic expression, and became a ninja at practicing. SPARK Practice was forged by the unique union of neuroscience, my experience in elite sports as a D1 scholarship rower, top musical training, and mindfulness.

Now, after years of research, results, getting friends together to try new things, building audition club, performance lab, and other performance training tools, you can join successful SPARK Practice musicians and learn to work with your brain and body for efficient practice, supportive mindsets, and consistently excellent, confident performances.

I'm so glad you're here. Let's jump in.
