The Audition Mindset

The Audition Mindset is for musicians who want to understand what happens in the body and mind when they are under pressure. What is the difference between positive and negative stress? Why can nervousness suddenly appear out of nowhere? And what happens in the nervous system when it suddenly seems to work against you?

The book offers a wide range of practical, easy-to-use strategies to help you stay in control and perform with confidence, enjoyment and energy. By training both body and mind, you can learn to keep your body calm, maintain your focus and avoid unhelpful thought patterns in the weeks leading up to an important performance — even when the pressure is exceptionally high.

Ulla Munch is one of Denmark’s most experienced specialists in mental training for performing artists, and her strategies have already helped thousands of singers and
musicians. The content of the book has been thoroughly tested in practice. It is intended both for performing musicians who want to be fully prepared to perform at their best when it matters most, and for teachers who want to help their students understand why nervousness affects them and how they can manage it when they step onto the stage.
