In an increasingly competitive environment the performer’s internal and mental resources are vital to effective artistic expression. Performance Coaching helps the performer design and generate effective cognitive skills that are both personal and practical. These strategies help performers identify any perceptual hindrances that veil their creative voice and help them realise their full performing capacity through the application and creation of efficacious contexts and perceptions. Most teachers and educational environments are sensitive to the challenges performers face, but due to time-table constraints and lack of opportunity, the application of a comprehensive cognitive programme and detailed pre-performance routine is limited. The inclusion of a Performance Coaching Programme will benefit performance, accelerate learning and reveal greater emotional depth in artistic delivery.
